Re: food and water same time?

Kibble gets floated in water here.

We have buckets in everyone's kennel, cleaned/refilled 2 x day, plus a swimming pool sized s/s bowl o water on the kitchen floor.

We feed 2 x a day here, so that the amount per meal is not large, and the dogs here scarf their food down!

I do have a gorger (or two) in the house, and we have had a couple of break ins to the food closet... kibble is now in screw top containers to avoid this issue, because oldest boy knows how to open the closet door.

It's a good idea not to let the dogs drink too much too fast after hard exercise, but other than that, we keep the water available all the time.

Remember also, it may not be as hot this time of year, but the air is much dryer, so keep the water available for your pets.

It's also a good idea to keep some Bean-no, or Gas-x in your first aid kit for your dogs... just in case they do gorge, this can buy you time to get to the vet should you feel your dog is bloating.
