What kind of dog food has the largest pieces?

So our dog eats his food crazy fast. And he doesn't like to chew it, he just swallows it. So we are looking for big pieces that he has to chew. The biggest I've found so far is Science Diet large breed dog food. They are sphere pieces that are maybe like 3/4 of an inch diameter. He chews maybe half and swallows the rest. It's definitely better than before, but still not great. Is there a dog food that has really big pieces so dogs have to chew it? Thanks.|||Hi... :)


At the moment I can only think of Royal Canin that has the really large pieces (breed depending though) after that would probably be what you are already feeding. If he swallows really big pieces it could be a chocking hazard though. Are you feeding him enough and more then one meal a day? Have you tried the dog bowls with pegs in them (to slow dogs eating down)? You may also want to think about switching him to a high quality food like Merrick (which you can ad water to), Wellness, Chicken Soup, Blue Buffalo, Solid Gold, and so on. Scinece Diet has a lot of fillers like wheat and corn....|||Instead of seeking the largest chunks (which could also contribute to vomiting or choking if he eats too fast), get some good sized rocks (yes, rocks) at least as big as an adult's fist. Wash them and put them in his feed bowl. He'll have to work around them to eat and it will slow him down.
