They are eating a lot slower as I think the larger and harder kibble they actually have to chew. It seems to be filling them up and their poops are fine and they have lots of energy. I think they are getting plenty it is just taking less food they they normally get to fill them up. It was stressing me when they wouldn't finish their meal all at once.(I am used to them being vacuum cleaners) I am leaving what they don't immediately eat out and they are grazing more, which IMO has to be healthier. I just wanted to see what you think. |

Yep, its important to look at the kcal/cup of the food, rather than the amount they're eating (that's what I've learned anyways). Life's Abundance seems to be 441 kcal per cup so they're getting more food by eating less.
If that makes sense.
Here's a good calculator.
