If a dog eats too much kibble at a time they can get bloat. I was it on ER Vets a while back. Dog ate up to 10 cups or so of kibble in one sitting (the owners thought they were being nice by giving their dog so much food.) The dog started bloating and had the be rushed to the ER.

The kibble swells up which make 10 cups of food an even larger amount. That's why it's best to give a kibble fed dog 2-4 meals a day. Lesser intake at each meal.


I believe Gracie will be perfectly fine, though, since she hasn't seen any discomfort/problems yet.
