My dogs are let out early AM. Then come back in and fed in their crates. Kept crated for about an hour , then let out again. At night they are fed at bed time. I put a little water on the food , but I don't soak it. I have had 13 year olds without a problem and I had a 4 year old and a 9 year old bloat. Was able to save the 9 year old. The ones that bloated were of the same general lines. Just me. Judi ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2012.
