Question
ok i have a question about the feeding habits of my BC.she is 2 years old....was an abused dog which we recently rescued from a kennel.she seems to gulp all her food down (we feed her half a can of pedigree meat...with two handfuls of pedigree mixer at night and four or five small vitamin biscuits in the mornings)and then seems to be perpetually looking for food all day.just want to make sure we are feeding her the right amount...shes a fairly active dog...we run/walk her 2-3 miles a day.

Answer
sorry i didnt answer i was on vacation. i think that if she was abused they never fed her so its something new or compared to what the kennel feeds her it might taste better! Also its nature for a dog to do that they dont no when to stop just like my neighbors cute pitbull.
