my dog doesnt chew his food
16f and I have a yellow lab :-) but for some reason everytime i give him food, anything,he litterally eats it in 2seconds! I have tried giving him bigger pieces to force him to chew his food, and little pieces to see if that would work. No such luck. any idea whats going on? Im afraid he will choke one of these days! ps, he is 9 and has the energy of a 2 year old

Nope it is perfectly normal. As long as his stool(poop) seems fine and he doesn't seem to be in any pain then he should be quite alright. My bulldog does the exact same thing and he isn't even a year yet. Some dogs just get overly excited about food being in their bowl that they just wolf it down. Just make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise and water and I'm sure he'll be just fine. Good Luck!

Hello. Sounds like your dog think his food is going somewhere. Seeing him down his food in literally seconds is probably disconcerting and it isn't very good for him either. Dogs that wolf down their food actually don't digest their food that well which can lead to other problems such as malnutrition and eating their own poo.My advice would be to hand feed him. Give him only two or three pieces at a time. After he eats them wait a few second then do a few more until he eats all the food. This will eventually get him to slow down.

by imaging the dog by his age and type i take it he's a pretty well grown dog. I'm pretty sure he won't choke though. if so, they know how to throw it up, trust me i've been in this kind of problem before. try to pat on there back though, just as you would a human. i don't really know how to fix his eating problems......it's common though my dog is the same way. but good luck!
