Food Amount - is this weird?
So, how weird is it that Presto is almost five months old and I have not had to increase his food intake? This has never happened!
He does get a lot of treats when we train and his Kongs hold his kibble with a frozen wet food "plug". He gags on kibble for treats (inhales it), so he gets Happy Howies mostly since I can cut them into "straws" and make smaller treats he won't gag on. Sometimes he gets white meat chicken instead.
So, daily he gets three cups of Pro Plan Sport 30/20 OR he gets two cups of the kibble plus a cup of prepared raw for dinner (I try to do one raw meal a day, but it's more like 4-5x per week since I get busy and forget to thaw it). He gets three Kongs per day and each Kong has probably three TB of PPS wet food to plug the hole. Kongs hold his lunch meal. He gets, on average, 1/2 cup of treats per day. If we train a lot (like at a lesson) where he gets more than a cup of treats, I won't give him lunch and I might cut down his dinner. I try to balance things out so he's not getting a ton of extra.
He also goes through 3-4 bully sticks per week and I've given him a raw knuckle bone to chew on a few times.
