What can I do to slow my dog down from eating so fast?
Full Question:
I have a 7 month old GSD puppy that is starting to eat a raw foods diet. When I give him a chicken leg he gulps it down whole! When I give him a chicken hind quarter he tries the same. I am so sure he is going to choke. What can I do to get him to slow down and chew his food up?Thank you for any advice you can offer.

When dogs try to swallow raw foods whole, I advise to give LARGER pieces so they are forced to chew. Giving smaller pieces encourages them to swallow food whole.
Try a half a chicken, or very large leg quarters and don’t give him anything small. Legs alone are definitely a choking hazard.
