How to make a dog eat slowly?

To slow a dog’s eating, try these methods. Buy a specially designed slow-feeder bowl that forces the dog to spend more time eating. If you have time, split the food into 4 to 5 portions and feed small amounts often. Mix in bulky, chewy foods like apple pieces, vegetable chunks, or freeze-dried meat to add complexity.

When feeding, pour a little first, wait a few seconds after it finishes, then add more, so the dog learns it has time and eats slowly.
