Hi Charlotte,

My bosses pup has been doing this and gets quite bloated after eating too quickly, they started feeding him half of his meal and then 20 ins later he got the rest, now theyve bought a special bowl that has ridges and bumps in it so it makes eating harder for them and takes them longer. hope this helps

I too have a lab who inhaled rather than ate and then farted and belched all night. I started with adding water to food... noo good, then moved on to an anti-gulp bowl, slightly better, the green (yes that is it's name) is good but he chases it all over the house. The best thing I've found is taking his food and throwing it over the lawn, he spends a good twenty minutes eating. Obviously this means keeping his worming protocol up to date but makes me less worried about his eating. It does worry me I'm encouraging him to scavenge when out walking but hey ho, he does that anyway.

Works like a dream I also add a cup full of water to the bowl....

Royal canin make a Labrador diet specifically with anti gulp kibble, (video's probably available on youtube), basically the kibble is such a shape that it has to be chewed and even the most greedy Labrador has to crunch!

My lab is the same, I scatter his food across the floor it slows him down well, hav also tried tennis ball in his bowl etc but found just scattering his food helped
