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.

also ibd dogs do better eating 3-4 smaller meals a day - kibble is very hard to digest so probably why wet food is working better for him. If this is ibd and eventually does not get under control then lymphangiecstasia can occur and why I really feel strongly to stick to what works
