Plus, it completely gets rid of the chance she might choke. "An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure"  .
OK, take a deeeep breathe, and repeat with me: "Chloe is a dog...Chloe is a dog....Chloe is a dog".... As Kellie pointed out, there's no way to keep them from being dogs<*gasp!*>. With prey model feeding, a lot of us who feed inside, feed on old cloths or old towels that can be washed/sanitized. This helps the dogs hold their food without it slipping all over the floor. And, of course, we clean up the floor if they get off the feeding area. |
Yes, She is a dog! hehe...Just I was just worried the bacteria on the floor might come in contact with the raw meat. Haha..I guess I did worry a little too much! Silly me! Okay, I am repeating after you...Chloe is a dog, Chloe is a dog, Chloe is a dog.......
Also, I don't leave any food for her while I am at work also. I used to leave her kibble, but not anymore!
