Ha! I knew it when I saw your other post! Sammy is seven months old, and pretty routinely makes himself throw up from eating too fast. He gets so excited his whole body kind of jumps around, the muscles getting all tense, and he scarfs his food down in seconds and then licks the bowl and then goes and licks the bowl of my parents' dog. My vet said to just do what you're already doing- feed him his meal gradually in small amounts, and give him more when he's finished a tiny bit and had a short break. Honestly, if I put something else in the bowl to slow him down, I'd be afraid he'd eat it, or break his teeth on it or something. He is truly a crazy man when it comes to food. I've also tried soaking the food, which doesn't slow him down a whole lot, so i guess that's not super helpful. I think i read somewhere that soaking the food makes them less likely to bloat, but I'm not sure about that at all.
