It's always a bonus when a dog loves it's food, but kibble was made so that it's tasty enough to eat, but most dogs will not overeat it, so you can safely free feed. This just isn't true of raw, the dog could possibly eat itself to death. Again, this isn't to suggest that raw is a poor choice. |
This is true. I actually have to hand feed my pups. Otherwise, they eat way too fast & vomit. Unfortunately, I had to learn this from experience. They would eat an entire chicken if I let them. That's why it's important to consult a vet/nutritionist & make sure you are feeding a proper amount of muscle mass/bone/organ in accordance with weight & age.
