I got my Toby when he was almost 7 months old and he came from a household with 8 other dogs. He evidently got into the habit of wolfing down his food there. He doesn't need to do it here because my other 2 Yorkies are busy concentrating on their own food and chewing every little bite. My vet advised getting a Slow Feeding Bowl and I'm writing to ask if anyone has had any experience with this or can offer any words of advice. I would appreciate any help I can get for him.

Oh, and I've already tried feeding him in a separate room and that didn't work. He still swallowed everything whole and as fast as he could.

Thanks so much for your help!
