My dog eats too fast, causing smelly gas and constipation. How to fix?

Question

Hi, my dog had been with a very smelly flatulences and a very little constipated ( he eats DOG CHOW). I know it's because he eats very fast. So, I know chamomille tea is good for flatulences but how do I make the tea and how many days can I administer it? THANX!

If he eats very fast, giving him chamomile tea will not stop the problem and you will continue to have issues with gas. Instead of giving him the tea, I recommend either putting large rocks in his bowl or getting him a slow feeder. The large rocks in his bowl will force him to slow down as he eats because he will have to hunt around the rocks to get to his food. The slow feeder will also slow down his eating, and either of those may lead to an end of his flatulence :-)
