Question
This is my third litter of Boston puppies but I have never had this problem before.  The runt of the litter gobbles down her food and then sometimes it comes back up.  I noticed that the kibble a lot of times is still whole and does not look like she chewed it at all.  I thought about giving her dry large puppy kibble that would force her to slow down and chew her food.  What do you think?

Answer
Hi Pam - I have the answer for you on this:

a special dish to slow this little one down.
