If your Frenchie finishes their meal before you’ve even had time to put the food bag away, you’re not alone! Eating too quickly is common in dogs—and especially in Frenchies—but luckily, there are easy ways to help slow them down:
-
Choose large-grain dog food whenever possible. Smaller kibble is too easy to swallow without chewing, and it can even pose a choking hazard. Bigger pieces encourage chewing, which naturally slows your pup down.
-
Try feeding smaller portions more often throughout the day, and add a bit of water to the food to help with digestion (just enough to moisten it).
-
Since Frenchies often act like they’re always hungry, offering a few healthy snacks during the day—like carrots, millet balls, or a large chew bone—can keep them satisfied without overfeeding.
-
And one more important tip: no playtime or walks right after eating. Let your pup rest for a while before any activity to help prevent vomiting or tummy issues.
