Hi
I hope someone can help me with my problem!!!
My 12 week old Yorkie eats
sooooo fast!
He is still on soft food as of right now and we are feeding him every four hours --the vet told us to do this because he had really low blood sugar when we first got him.
Our normal routine is to sit down in front of him when we feed him. We put the bowl down and he scarfs it down so fast we have to take it away from him for a little bit so he can take a breath! I don't want him to choke on his food or anything. And I really don't want him to get sick from eating so fast.
We also try to feed him a few pieces of hard food but he seems to just swallow them. And we have to feed him one piece at a time. I don't know if it's because we are feeding really tiny pieces of food or what? I don't know if we should give him slightly larger pieces of food. But he gets SO excited over food, he doesn't think about anything else but food!
I am worried if we were to put a small bowl of hard food down he would just try to eat them all at once and not chew any of them up.
Does anyone have the same problem? Or know of something to help him be more calm about his food? I don't want his eating habits to cause health problems or anything...
any advice would be great! Thanks!!
