Specificlly , By Nature.

This brand first is rated on the Super prem dog food ana. report on dry foods is listed as a 4 . I have been free feeding Suzi it for several months.
Iv'e also been giving her the canned version that is rated as a 6 , on the list.
She had been shaved down a month ago, and I felt like she could put on a lb . Now, I give her at least one meal a day of this high protein canned food.
IF I give her more a day, is this ok? What is the difference of canned vrs kibble? AND the high protein? vrs a lesser protein in her kibble?
Suzi enjoys the canned a lot more then the kibble . Would It be better to mix the two? or to continue free feeding the kibble and give her the canned one or two times a feeding?
I've noticed she has not eating as much kibble now that she is getting the canned .
How is the canned going to affect her teeth?
