What it the difference between "게으른 개가 천천히 먹고 있어요." and "게으른 개가 천천히 먹고 있습니다."?! None, both should be right.

So then both sentences should be accepted, right? Since we don't know who we're talking to?
Well, more than that....we're talking about a dog, so even if you said that to your boss, I'm pretty sure 있어요 should be okay....
I thought 있어 vs 있어요 vs 있습니다 was about who you were talking to, while 세/시 vs no 세/시 was about who or what the sentence was about, like who is or would be doing the action
You're exactly right; the choice of formality here has nothing to do with the dog but rather with the addressee.
If the sentence was " The lazy dog is eating" then would it be "게으른 개가 먹어요"? Do you add ~고있어요 to verbs when you add an adjective?
-고 있어요 is added to resemble the English -ing form.
게으른 개가 먹고 있어요 would be "the lazy dog is eating".
게으른 개가 먹어요: the lazy dog eats.
