...For bloat prevention I would consider feeding two or more smaller meals a day as opposed to one large meal, limiting exercise for an hour or two before/after eating, and avoid allowing the dog to consume a large amount of water within an hour or so of eating. I believe those things are more important than how fast (or not) a dog eats.
Good advice. To also reassure you, Wilson is a small dog (Jack/Chi mix - right??) so the chances of a bloat are REAL low. Not impossible but huge percentage of these happen in large and/or deep chested dogs (think Great Danes, Standard Poodles, Shepherds and Retrievers).
Most out grow this behavior by the time they get full grown, but some never do.
