| What to do with a gobbler?? Nia eats Acana right now (we will be switching to something a little more cost friendly) and she never chews only swallows the kibble whole. Any suggestions on how to stop this? I've tried hand feeding and it doesn't work. |

| I wish I had that problem. lol. My 1 is so picky. anyhow, I have gone as far as smashing the kibble. I put it in a plastic baggie and hammer with a meat tenderizer. I think that there are bowls that help slow down the eating but not sure if it will do anything for the none chewing. Good luck.

| You could try food with the same ingredients but for bigger dogs--the pieces will be bigger, and she'll have to chew. Still, as long as your dog isn't choking on the little pieces, I can't see a problem in swallowing them whole. |
