I have a “power eater” and he was quite often getting sick right after/during meals. He very rarely gets sick now that he eats this food. And both cats have thick velvety soft coats 😍 Totally off topic. Did you use feeding mats to slow the cat down or? I have a pup that is exactly the same way. they got new dog treats and my analogy is the episode of impractical jokers when the guy was making a joke about trying to "one throat a chicken wing". LOL. You mentioned the food helping, we've moved to larger size (normal vs. small bites) to try to help as well. Dog is fine, but sometimes they need to slow down and chew and it's hard to communicate that. I've also seen the corydoras do that too with worms and scared itself half to death for a little while.

I have a pup that is exactly the same way So at mealtime they get a little bit of wet food, like a spoonful or two. And what Tony was doing was scarfing it down like it’s some kind of race. Then he would immediately switch to the nearby dry food and power that down as fast as possible. Then blehh.. so what I did was pick up the dish of dry food whenever I was offering the wet so he didn’t have access. I would set it back down like 15 minutes later, kind of like a restaurant server paces the meal (serves first course, short wait, then second course, etc). Because we leave dry food down all the time so they can have something to eat when they get hungry throughout the day: while we are at work etc. He only rushes and binges when it’s wet food time. When it’s ONLY dry that’s available, he will just nibble here & there. My husband thinks he was competitive eating because at wet food time, both cats are fed together. Perhaps he thought the little girl was gonna steal it from him. Why, I don’t know- Mouse eats slowly and politely. Issue for the most part resolved when we went with the Hills food. Even when I forgot to pick up the dry, he wouldn’t get sick if the food was Hills sensitive stomach food. As of December though, the issue seems to have fully resolved because he had two teeth pulled; they had cavities. And now he doesn’t eat as fast. For your pup I’d suggest a smaller portion; measure it out. Edited February 8, 2023 by Chick-In-Of-TheSea 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
