This is written like a fun blurb that they’d have on the back of some off-brand fruit snacks sponsored by the local zoo, and that’s exactly the kind of gentle and educational tone with which I must be addressed at all times in order to feel safe. Thank you.
The dog has an issue where his esophagus doesn’t work right; it doesn’t get food in there right because it’s all stretched out and stuff. So what dog owners (and cat owners and I guarantee you the cat ones look goofier) do is make a highchair and feed them upright so gravity can be a hero. It’s also really cute.
The disorder is called Megaesophagus.
Here is a cat with the same disorder in his eatin’ sock.
