Why do dogs gobble their food?
I've never seen a fat wolf. But my dogs would probably eat until they exploded if I didn't limit their food. The vet says they are slightly overweight, but they always look at me like I'm starving them when I give them the recommended amount of dogfood.

It's part of their nature. While in the wild, it was easy for a predator to steal their food, so if they ate fast, they got a more fulfilling meal. It's self-preservation.

bostjan the adequate 🥉 But my dogs will eat grass until they vomit, then, as soon as they are done vomiting, go back to eating grass. This process repeats until I manage to stop them. If wolves in the wild behaved this way, the entire forest floor would be covered in wolf vomit. -
11stevo73 are you feeding them something that is making them sick.why they are eating grass? Give them a bit more dog food?

bostjan the adequate 🥉 Vet keeps saying I feed them too much. We've tried all sorts of plain dogfoods and fancy dogfoods and they still eat grass. The younger one (they're both old dogs) will eat literally anything that he can, including the woodwork of my house. He acts like we are starving him all of the time. The older one sometimes acts that way, too, but less so since he's turned 14 and lost a little of his appetite.
