We started with the feeding guidelines his food company uses and adjusted up from there. Max stays at a good weight of about 25 lbs between meals and treats.<br />Whole prey is a feeding method of giving whole parts like whole chicken backs/necks with bones and sometimes organs so the dog has to, theoretically, mimic wild feeding behaviors. Some people swear by it, it's a little too primal for me. We do give Max a raw beef rib with meat weekly but that's as close as we get.<br />As long as your dog is maintaining a healthy weight, has good energy and seems healthy I wouldn't worry as much about the size of the food in the bowl. Kibble takes up a lot more space since the pieces have more surface area and it has more fillers to deliver the rest of the ingredients. You've probably noticed less poo too after he detoxed from the kibble. Less poo means more absorbed. If you're really worried drop a line to your vet, otherwise do what works for him (or get a smaller bowl so it looks like more). :D Good luck!Ashley Cunninghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16441840702221986073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1581686678448854089.post-89908279218051016242012-04-05T13:37:55.324-05:002012-04-05T13:37:55.324-05:00I saw your post from last year about RAW food diet...I saw your post from last year about RAW food diet. I have done this for almost 2 months now, and am still wondering if I am feeding him enough! What is the prey diet you were mentioning? It sounds like it makes sense! thank you.
