My cat throws up whole dry food. Is she eating too fast or not chewing?

Question

My cat keeps throwing up her food, the vomit isn't digested food but whole pieces of her dry food. Does that mean she isn't chewing her food properly? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 2 years old

Hi and thanks for posting! Yes, it is likely she is not chewing her food and is instead gulping her food. This could be caused by eating too quickly or may be due a dental problem. You may consider having Layla seen by her veterinarian to rule out a tooth issue as a cause. If a dental issue is ruled out, she may be eating too quickly and you may consider feeding smaller amounts more frequently or purchasing a slow feeder such as the one I have linked below. I hope this helps! https://www.google.com/shopping/product/16732113985708431597?lsf=seller:2653025,store:7688824421570661294&prds=oid:14280789946336739448&q=Pet+Co+cat+slow+feeder&hl=en&ei=gTQfW9mOMYuXjwSToL44&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&lsft=gclid:EAIaIQobChMIwK_Mt47N2wIVgrrACh1RswVTEAQYBSABEgKKk_D_BwE
