Everybody's loves to eat! Your dog is no exception. Eating too quickly is more common with puppies as their food is very small and their energy level is a little over the brim.

Please be sure that this rock is large enough that there is no way they can swallow. I'd say at least the size of your fist, maybe slighly smaller.
