How do I stop my fast-eating dog from stealing my other dog's food?

Question

How can I stop my dog from eating my other dog's food? I have 2 dogs, 1 is a fast eater and the other is a slow eater. The fast eater is always waiting for me to pour his food, and the slow eater is almost never present at feeding time. The fast eater will go outside after eating, but when he comes back in the slow eater will begin to growl at him from the other room. I can separate them for a while, but I eventually have to go to work. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 2 years and 2 months old | 95 lbs

You can feed the fast eater in a bowl designed to slow his eating. These have grooves in them so he has to work his tongue to get the food. Then I would leave him out until the other dog finishes. If the slow eater isn't finished pick up the food anyway. Do this at each feeding and hopefully the slow eater will get quicker and the slow feed bowl will slow down Loki. I recommend not having food down at anytime so they don't fight. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for your dogs.
