Here are a few tried and true methods to curb gulping:

- Wet the food down or include some mushy add-ins. Mashed bananas, boiled carrots and peas, bits and pieces of meat, and even a bit of peanut butter are all excellent supplements.

- Use either an obstruction. Take a bit of chain link and coil it into your dog's food bowl or drop a few tennis balls in the dish. Don't try a bundt pan. Your dog will simply eat around it.

- Use a large flat pan instead of a bowl.

- If you have multiple dogs, separate them in different rooms so there is no competition.

- Feed frequent small meals in toys specifically made for holding food/treats, i.e. Kongs or Jessika's suggestion of a Buster Cube.
