Dogs eating too fast risk choking, vomiting, and potentially life-threatening bloat (GDV). Slow them down using simple techniques like scatter feeding indoors, employing specially designed slow feeder bowls, or turning meals into enrichment with puzzle toys. These methods improve digestion, increase safety, provide mental stimulation, and make mealtime more satisfying for your canine companion.

Dog lip licking (when unrelated to food) is often an appeasement gesture signaling stress, anxiety, confusion, or potential health issues like nausea or dental pain. Observe the context, remove stressors if possible, give your dog space, manage training sessions positively, and consult a vet if the behavior is frequent or unexplained. Understanding this body language helps you support your dog's well-being.
