My Akita dog Kensho gives a clear demonstration: you play first, and only then.. you eat. When eating, chew your food carefully (don’t fall into that typical gorging behavior that give dogs a bad name as diner companions).
Why is this good behavior?
Play reduces stress and the risk of developing gastric torsion is reduced when your dog has no stress, doesn’t exercise after a meal and chews his food whilst eating slowly.
