Question I could really use some help here!!!!!!!!!

Ok...I am really looking for some help. Maggie eats all of her food in about 15 seconds. well, I haven't timed it but I'm pretty sure it isn't much longer than that. She inhales it. Doesn't even chew it!!!!!!

I have seen those bowls that slow the eating process down...but other than that, does anyone have any advice what to do about this???? the kicker is that she eats SO fast and then she acts like she is still starving. She is getting plenty to eat..in fact, she is overweight! she makes you feel so sorry for her because she literally acts starving. but I know she isn't. I give her carrots for treats...she gets an OCCASIONAL (maybe once a week) yorkie yummy treat but really, the only treats she gets are carrots. So I know she isn't overweight because of too many treats.

I just dont know what to do...I wish I could get her to slow down when she eats because I keep thinking that she will feel full if she eats slower. But even with me only putting 2 or 3 kibbles in her bowl at a time...she is still inhaling.

any ideas for me??????
