They say that if you feed a nutritious high quality kibble the pup won't over eat. This isn't true for older dogs who have had kibble restriction.
Well Peanut isn't a hog, he always had food down as a puppy and he wasn't a hog then either. LOL He is my little kitty, he is a graceful eater.. and some days he is anorexic.
