Yeah, i understand the cribbing, and i know there are devices out there to slow down a dog eating and drinking. But what would you do if that horse was in a corral with a few other horses and you did not have the set up where you can put rounded rocks? Same thing when that pup has to adjust to life with a kennel full of others who have the freedom to go in and out doggy doors all day and eat when they want. Does that one pup get locked in a cage for life? Away from other dogs? Not being able to socialize? Do you change the feeding pattern of the entire kennel for the one dog?
