This is a common problem with Great Danes, for one. Raise the feed bowl, put it on a stand or a box. That will help to prevent her gulping air with her food, which is one of the causes of bloat. Place a brick or a good sized rock on top of her food. That will slow her down, because she will have to eat around it.
If that still doesn't slow her down, you might try wetting her food with some water or broth, and let it soak for a few minutes. That will replace any air that is in the food, so she is less likely to bring it back up, and lessens the chances of bloat.
If you can free feed her by leaving food down all during the day, that would be the best solution. She will gobble it all down for the first day or so, but once she gets used to the idea that there is always food available, she will stop gobbling.

If you are feeding your dog dry food, try adding warm water to it. The water mixed with food will help your pup eat slower, the slower he eats the less likely he will vomit. He probably vomits cuz hes eating too fast and taking in a lot of air. If that doesn't work try feeding smaller amounts more often during the day, he might feel he needs to eat it fast because he is so hungry.

If i were you , I would just give it dog food , because it comes in tiny pieces , but it you HAVE to give it food from the table , cut it up first or give a tiny bit.

I don't feed my dog anything other than dog food. Table scraps make him throw up. No matter how big they are. Plus, it really isn't good for them; can make them obese, clog their arteries, etc. If you still want to give your dog large pieces of food; break them up into smaller chunks so she can't eat it whole.

Don't feed him human food, He's a dog. If you feel like he's eating too fast and might choke, then give him wet dog food.

Well, I have never actually witnessed any dog nicely chewing their food instead of gulping it down, but smaller more frequent meals may help her from throwing it up.

do you mean she is gulping down her dog kibble?? if so,, raise the bowl up higher ( like on a box or something) then put a couple of tennis balls on top of her food,,, she will have to slow down and pick around the balls to eat..

to be honest i am not sure, but my best guess is to give it to her in smaller pieces. like small piece dry food.
