Hmm, I don't know why I wrote this this way.
What I meant was that grain free kibble seems to make some dogs very thirsty and they drink tons to get enough moisture. It is almost to the unhealthy point. I don't really like kibble at all because for one it is overprocessed and a human would really never be expected to eat hard food all the time. I think a mixture of hard and soft food is a good way to go (and I really don't mean kibble and canned, I mean soft food and then something like raw vegetables).

As for canned, the ingredients may be good and it is less processed than kibble but grain free canned is very high in fat quite often. It just is not healthy in my opinion. So I don't really like either of them. If you could find a canned grain free food that is lower in fat, that would seem fair. Or provide plenty of water with the kibble and get ready for potty breaks. All dogs are different though.
