Still throws up after dinner? 5 things we'd check before you buy another bag of food
When dinner comes back up minutes after he eats, the food often isn't the problem. Here's what we'd check first, and what we'd try.
Dinner0:31
Time his dinner.
Put his bowl down and start a timer on your phone. If dinner is gone in well under a minute, and it comes back up whole a few minutes later, speed is often part of the story.
That matters, because it changes what will help. A dog who inhales his food swallows it in big gulps, with a lot of air.
If dinner comes back up whole, minutes after he eats, look at how fast he eats before you change what he eats.
The usual fixes slow him a little, or clean up after.
Most owners have tried a few of these. They're not wrong. Here's what each one really does:
Each one can help a little. None of them slows every meal and supports his stomach every day.
Slow the bowl.
A slow feeder has ridges he has to eat around, so he can't take the whole dinner in a few gulps. In a small controlled study, a slow-feeder bowl significantly slowed eating.1 Slower is the only thing we claim for the bowl.
Same dog, same dinner.
Then support his stomach, every day.
A bowl can slow him down. It can't do anything for a touchy stomach. That's the other half, and it needs to happen every day, not only after a bad night.
So we put both in one box: the Sensitive Stomach Survival Kit.
- The slow feeder slows down how fast he eats.
- A daily probiotic supports his digestion every day: soft stomach chews, or drops if he spits chews out.
- Same food. Both work with what he eats now.
Most probiotics can't slow a fast eater down. This kit comes with the bowl that does.
Give it 2 to 4 weeks. Try it on us.
The slower dinner starts the first night. The probiotic is a routine: give it two to four weeks. If it isn't for him, one refund covers the whole box.
- Day 1His normal dinner in the slow feeder. Time it. The probiotic after.
- Day 3Most dogs stop pushing the bowl around by now.
- Days 14 to 28Note any evening dinner still comes back up. If it keeps happening with the bowl, see your vet.
- Day 30Your refund window closes.

What owners say about sensitive stomachs
You're not alone.
Questions
Before you decide.
Chews or drops?
Chews if he takes treats: 1 to 3 a day by his size, 30 a tub. Drops if he spits chews out, or he's tiny and you want a measured dose. Same price.
Will he get frustrated with the bowl?
A few dogs push it around the first night. Most get the hang of it within a meal or two.
Can you promise he won't throw up again?
No, and nobody honest can. The bowl slows how fast he eats; the probiotic supports his digestion every day. If it keeps happening with the bowl, your vet should see him.
What if it isn't for him? Even if it's opened?
Yes, even if it's opened. Email us within 30 days of delivery and we refund you in full, even if the box is open. No need to send it back.
When will it arrive?
In 5–9 days. Shipping is free in the US, with a tracking link by email.
Is it a subscription?
No. One-time purchase. Nothing renews.
When is it more than eating too fast?
Retching with nothing coming up and a hard, swollen belly is an emergency: go to a vet now. And if dinner keeps coming back up even with the slow feeder, have your vet take a look.
