Should I be worried ??

Question

I tend to overreact...and my anxiety is rearing it’s ugly face today...our fur baby Hugo has gone from eating like it’s a sprint to eating like it’s a marathon 😕
He’ll eat treats and drink water...acting pretty much normal. 
We did get quite out of our routine this weekend...with the holiday...so maybe he’s reacting to that? 
I’m not sure what to do...I feel a vet trip might be in the cards (just in case, thank you anxiety) but does this sound like something I should be super stressed over??
Any advice is appreciated 😉

Answer

If he’s eating enough through the day and getting plenty of water, I don’t see the issue.

My girl eats so fast I always say she inhales her food lol. But we bought her a bowl that is like a puzzle so it makes her work for it. She still doesnt eat as slow as we would like her too but it does help. We tried putting a ball in her bowl to slow her down but she just takes it out. I reccomend you look into those bowls.. I wouldn't worry about taking him to the vet. As long as hes eating and drinking his daily meals then he should be perfectly fine. Just try to relax 💕😊

Answer

He may be conserving food stores if he suddenly started slowing down or not eating as much. Sometimes when dogs life's are changed suddenly they will resource guard. Sounds more behavioral than a health issue ☺️ but if you're ever unsure you can always call your local veterinarian (preferably your primary) and ask for their opinion or advice

Answer

I'm a vet tech :) he should be fine as long as he is still eating a little and drinking. And his bowel movements look normal. I wouldn't waste a vet trip unless he is having diarrhea or vomiting. Sometimes changes in the routine can mess with how dogs eat :)

Answer

My roommate and I alternately go out of town and whenever one of us is away our pup tends to eat less and then when we’re both back she’s all normal again

Answer

Is he licking his lips more than usual or anywhere else? Is he crying more than normal? Are you feeding him more treats than usual? How is he peeing and pooping. Is he searching for grass to munch on? Has it been very hot over where you live? How old is he? 
If all of this is normal and he’s not searching for grass and you’re not giving him more treats than usual then I don’t believe anything is wrong. But, I’m not an expert and I don’t know your dogs habits. 
He looks very happy and loved though! Sweet doggo ❤️

Answer

If he’s acting normal but his appetite is just a little off, I think he’ll be okay.

Answer

There are bowls you can purchase at pet store that help to slow down eating! I’ve also heard that if you put a ball on top of the food they have to keep pushing the ball around and it slows them down. I’m not sure if this second one really works as i think most dogs would just move the ball out of the bowl, but it might work!

He’s eating fast?
