sounds like he had bad table manners. The only tip i can give you is for him taking big mouthfuls of food. What you'll need to do is find a object large enough and heavy enough to fit in his dish so that he has to eat around it and can only get the pieces on the side of the dish. this way he can't eat really fast, swallow pieces whole, or grab large amounts and run away. I do this with my cat because he likes to eat really fast and then throw up. Another option is getting a ball or cube with holes in it and putting his food in there so he has to push it around for pieces to fall out. this will also prevent him from eating large amount at a time.
As for swallowing treats whole, the only thing i can tell you is to not give him little treats. get him big bully sticks and take them away before they get to be swallowing size (which would be the size of the rawhide he swallowed) Or you can just not give him anything at all for a while then ease them back in to his routine and see if he still does it. Or you can use his food pellets are treats. these are small enough that he won't choke on them.
hope some of this helped |
