| Need suggestions about feeding. Taylor will be 2 in March. I have been home cooking for him for about a year. He then decided that he wasn't thrilled with it anymore. I tried some changes in what I cooked but then decided to try him on Merrick's canned food. He loves it SO much that he literally inhales it. He sounds like a pig! Taylor is a teapot sized furbaby but not overweight. I feed him 1/2 can in the morning and 1//2 at dinnertime. He throws up a bit after eating and I know it is because he eats it so fast. He doesn't like kibble. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. |

| Have you tried mixing the canned with the kibble? That might slow him down some. It would worry me if he is throwing up some every time after he eats. Sometimes vomiting is a sign of pancreatitis. It is possible the canned food is too rich for him. You might want to get blood work done if it continues or talk to your vet about it. |

| When I decide that Ellie needs to slow down, I pick the bowls up and give her a bite at a time. If your dog still throws up after you make sure he isn't eating too fast, I would definately get bloodwork done.
