I bought her one of the bowls mentioned earlier with the rubber prongs in it and it has slowed her down by about half a minute, LOL!

If your really worried that Bella will make herself ill why don't you hand feed her for a while, then you control how long she takes to eat. Ive also noticed that if I hand feed Poppy she crunches the food properly piece by piece so it may be worth a try.
I am afraid that she will get used to this type of spoiled behavior and wont eat from a bowl again. There must be something that can be done to stop this! I was thinking of putting her LOTS of food so she sees that there is enough and wont stress out. what I stopped doing in the past two days is, I dont say anymore "who wants to eat", "who is hungry" and all those phrases that causes her to get all excited. I just put the food when she doesnt see and leave. it helps a bit...
