First of all, I didn't think you usually feed canned in "cups"... usually it's like "1/2 can" or tablespoons or something. And then when I said "oh wow yeah I've been feeding him a lot less than that", the tech said, "He should be fine by now to eat" or something along those lines....

I think I will just stick to the plan. But they told me wet food is fine (the Purina E/N) so I may just give him not as much dry and then a puppy-sized Kong filled with wet in the evening so he has something to do and chew on.

This is why I would never listen to a tech.

This is just my opinion, but, I would not be lingering meal times by filling kongs and the like. I would put the food down, let the dog eat, put the food away, and let him rest. For me, it just isn't worth the risk to the dog with the possibility of relapse. And I'm worried about Jackson.
