Our Tip of the Day:
Is your kitty or pup a fast eater? If your furbaby inhales their food, there are some potential ways you can help slow down their eating. One way is by placing something such as a golf ball or tennis ball, or another safe item, in the bowl. This can slow down eating since they have to eat around the item. Of course, do make sure that any item used is not a choking hazard, and also that it doesn't take up such a large portion of the bowl that would restrict the ability to eat altogether. There are also bowls on the market that have partitions that serve the same purpose, to slow down a dog or cat's eating. In this same vein of thought, sometimes all it takes is using a plate rather than a bowl, as having the food more spread out can also slow eating. Using methods to slow down eating can help help reduce problems that often result from rapid eating, such as regurgitating food and weight gain from overeating.

Lookin cute Astrid!
Cute doodle!
Lita used to eat too fast. I was going to get her one of those "slow down bowls," but thankfully, she slowed down on her own.
Great picture Astrid. You are looking mighty good. The drawing is terrific in the doggie mode. Have a wonderful day.
Love the puppy doodle!
Nice photo of a quiet, thoughtful expression--and the puppy in the cup is so cute! :)

Astrid is adorable. I like the doodle. Excellent tip too, I use a golf ball in Joanie's food to slow her down.
We love how you look so serene in this photo, Astrid. And great drawing, Mom!
