I have had a few rescues and they ate until they vomited for the first few weeks..I had to limit the amount..and feed 4 small meals a day instead of two normal size...this may not be your puppies problem..just offering my experince. |
That is what I was thinking also, that it is a learned behavior.
I would try feeding more often in smaller amounts. My sister got a Shi Tzu that did the same thing, she started feeding him smaller amounts more often and eventually he learned to slow down.
