They were able to eat a decent amount (where they felt satiated) and they didn't gain weight They are siblings and what I realized then is that it has to be a genetic thing...and definitely had to do with metabolism. My other pups didn't have that same issue with kibble.

They remain on canned food now...they will be 15 in a week.
