OMG! My sweet little 5 month old almost 2 pound puppy, Sophie, is really a piranha in disguise. I have had very small breed dogs my whole life, including 3 yorkies. Fritz, my 7 pounder is actually the biggest dog I've ever owned. She dives into food like nobody's business. All of my others have been somewhat dainty eaters. She on the other hand eats like a starved jackal especially when I give her some boiled chicken. Anyone else have a little piranha?

That's funny! My boy hardly ever shows interest in food. My girl...totally different story. She'll gulp down anything! She's worse than my Lab

So does Bella, I want to say it started a couple weeks after I got her home. She eats like shes starved, which she's definitely not. I want her to actually taste her food before swallowing..lol. I've never seen anything like it.

Ginger, My Yorkie that died 3 years ago was like that but Louie doesn't eat much. Food doesn't interest him at all

Jess (girl) inhales her food so fast she occasionally throws some up because it gets stuck shes swallowing so fast. I have to stop her mid feeding sometimes and say BREATHE!!

Both of mine inhale their food. When I fed kibble they picked at it but after introducing raw it is clean plates in 20 seconds. For the evening meal they get raw veggies and clean their bowls but at a slower pace.

Thanks for the responses. Glad to know she is not a glutton. But is is kind of funny the way she gets so frantic on the dish. LOL. Fritz just steps back and watches her even though they don't share a dish. It's like he can't believe what a pig she is.
