Question
I have a six week old Boston terrier. He will eat hard puppy food but he does not chew it up at all. it is more like he is inhaling it. When he does this he gets sick a few hours later and will end up throwing up. It is mostly little bits of dog food. So i have switched him to a soft can food but it is making him really gassy. What is your best advice on what to do?

Answer
Hi - give him the dry food but wet it with a few teaspoons of water and let it sit for 10 minutes....and then feed it to him.
Also, raise his feeding - Get a raised feeding set up for him.
So he will not take in so much Air when he eats.
YOU can give a few teaspoons of wet food per day, mixed with the dry.

Also, NuVET vitamins are wonderful for your Boston kid...
