Soaking food, how long?

Is he inhaling it because he is truly hungry? If that's the case, try a different food with a change in nutrients…he may not be getting all the nutrients he needs and his body is hungry for something he's not getting. I've seen this in dogs whose people put them on vegetarian diets. Dogs are carnivores and need the amino acids and fats in meat.
If this isn't the case, hand feeding him a piece or two at a time may teach him to slow down a little. He may be so used to wet food he doesn't bother to chew it because he doesn't have to. I like the ball in the dish trick...crafty! :)
