That sounds like an interesting idea. I don't have any that scarf food but I do have some that could stand to lose some weight.
I have question for those that have yorkies that inhale their food. Would it be possible to find a healthy food they are not as crazy about or would they still inhale their food? Sometimes I wonder if I am not trying to hard to please my dogs offering them things they really love. Maybe I am encouraging them to eat too much. My vet gave me a sample of Canidae Grain Free Salmon Meal Formula and my dogs totally turned there nose up at it. I just looked at the analysis and it has 40% protein. That sure seems high. My babies have never seemed to like food with fish in them.
I love hearing all these cute stories about everyone's fur babies.
