Several things have been suggested on lists I'm on - Spread the kibble out on a cookie sheet - Place a large stone in the food bowl, so your dog has to pick the food from around it - can't get that big mouthful - Definitely - MIX that yummy stuff with the kibble - don't leave it temptingly on top - Good Luck!
