I know it may be a hassle, but if it works, it will be worth it!! Once he figures out that he will get food on a regular basis, he should start to slow down eating. Then you can start backing down on the number of times he gets fed per day. Granted, this way my take quite a while, but he may not know that he doesn't have to gulp his food. Making him wait to eat may only worsen the problem. Good luck with him.

Thanx
ya, once i get him back on kibble successfully..if i can..then i probably will do that..i just always feel so bad cuz he acts like hes starving when its food time. i have tried putting the food in a kong toy, and a brake fast bowl..and once he figured them out..he still gets it out fast and throws up. but i havent let him do that in a long while since i figured out i could control it with smaller portions over 10-15 min or so. i do think ill try that throughout the day thou..it cant hurt, and i really do want him to know ill always feed him! i already sit in bathroom with him while he eats and feed my pom in living room so he doesnt feel competitive. At this point, i will try anything i feel like! lol and i come home for lunch everyday, so i can def add at least one more small meal into his day easily...
