my RAW eater ate kibble! A LOT OF IT TOO!

[Kfamr]

Eating too much does not cause bloat, nor does eating kibble. Doubtless, you will be made to feel supremely guilty (those doggies do know how to get us with the sad eyes) while you fast her, but just make sure she gets enough water, and as they say, "this too shall pass!"

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.

Totally kfamr- even the half cup I use of Solid gold- I grind up in the food processor. If I have to go back to kibble- I fast one meal. This only occurs when we have a power outage. Our generator holds the Freezer, but we have no refrigeration. And considering I buy meats in 10 pound bags- I cant keep it cold until I finish the bag at the next feeding.
