 I'm triple- superior MAD- now! |

Dampen it and freeze in kongs, put in something like the Buster Cube or kong wobbler, spread it out so it needs to be hunted down, use most of it for training.
He may be one of those dogs that is super smart and needs an important job. He certainly needs to be kept busy! Start training and incorporate an off switch now. That down stay is an important part of any job!
Kibble is really low in fat for a carnivore. Fat sticks to the ribs, while you use up the rest of the bag you might want to try out mixing something with some fat to it in the meal. Maybe some canned sardine or egg or fatty hamburger?
I wouldn't feed a dog according to food seeking behavior, I would keep my hands on and feed according to the dog's condition. |  |  |  |  |

Dogster has taken a hard swing towards alternative/premium brands since then. People were actually recommending Science Diet, Eukanuba, Pro Plan, etc. |  |  |  |  |
