How Do I Stop My Dog From Eating Too Fast and Getting Sick?

Quick Answer: Switch from a bowl to an enrichment tool immediately. A treat ball for kibble or lick mat for wet food extends a 30-second meal to 15-20 minutes and eliminates the air-gulping that causes post-meal vomiting. Dogs who eat from enrichment tools almost never vomit post-meal because the intake rate is simply too slow for air accumulation.

Why Dogs Vomit After Eating Too Fast

Dogs who eat too quickly swallow large amounts of air with their food. This creates a bloated, pressurized stomach that triggers vomiting within 30-60 minutes of eating. The vomit is usually undigested food. It's the air, not the food, causing the problem.

The Treat Ball Solution for Kibble

Put the full meal in the treat ball. The dog rolls it around the floor, kibble dispenses piece by piece through the holes. Each piece individually. No gulping possible. No air ingestion. 15-20 minutes per meal. Problem solved.
