Solution for a Dog That Eats Too Fast: Riff’s Story
In this article
Riff, an enthusiastic Dutch Shepherd who likes to eat her food quickly
Riff is a lively Dutch Shepherd known for her energy and her gluttony. As soon as her food bowl is put down, she pounces on her food. No rest, no pause. Gluttony prevailed at every meal. Riff is a glutton!
Riff's owners know that wolfing down food is not good for dogs and want to prevent it! Wolfing down food can lead to digestive problems, resulting in flatulence, an irritated stomach, or even stomach torsion. Chewing properly is also better for the teeth. Chewing is part of the digestion process. Finally, Riff is more likely to feel unsatisfied because she is so focused on food.
Our solution to Riff's gulping?
What did we want to achieve? We wanted to encourage Riff to eat more calmly, without stress or frustration. At the same time, we wanted to give her healthy, natural food. This supports her digestion and thus helps her overall health.
The combination that worked for Riff? The PINO Slow Feeder Bowl and frozen meat from Carnis are a good solution. They help to slow down eating behavior. In addition, the meat is nutritious and natural.
The Slow Feeder Bowl has been specially developed to allow dogs to eat calmly. Thanks to the raised shapes in the feeder, Riff has to work harder for her food. This not only slows down her eating, but also makes it more mentally challenging for her.
What makes the PINO Slow Feeder Bowl unique:
- Made from sturdy, heavy PINO Sandstone®
- Does not tip over and is bite-resistant
- Encourages calm eating behavior and mental activity
- Helps prevent obesity and digestive problems
Carnis frozen meat is the perfect accompaniment. Because it is natural and raw, it aids digestion. It also helps maintain a stable weight for your dog, as it provides greater satiety after meals.
The result: more peace of mind, better health
Since Riff has been eating her meals from the PINO Slow Feeder Bowl, we have seen improvements. She now also gets Carnis frozen meat. She eats more calmly, without gulping. This prevents vomiting, flatulence, or any of the other possible problems.
Her mealtime is now a relaxed part of the day. No stress, no rush. Just enjoying a healthy meal.
Why this combination works
Does your dog also tend to wolf down its food? Then a combination of a slow feeder and a natural, raw diet is a good idea to try.
A good slow feeder is, for example, the PINO Slow Feeder Bowl. And the natural frozen meat from Carnis is the ideal match.
Your dog will eat more calmly, more healthily, and with greater satisfaction.
