I feed Orijen puppy, and it says that a dog Desmond's size/age should be fed 3 cups a day. That's what I fed him on Blue Buffalo, too, so it was pretty easy when we were transitioning foods. Thing is, he would pick out the Orijen (he really likes it lol) then eat some of the Blue (which he also liked), and would leave a good bit of food left. The Orijen pieces are a lot bigger, and I hear that Orijen is good for putting on weight, so it may be heavier than Blue and fill him up quicker.
We're now on Orijen completely, and he still leaves food in the bowl, doesn't eat it all at once like he did with Blue. Should I feed him less? He never comes back to it until next meal time, and then still leaves some food. :\
OR, what I was wondering about, was when/if to switch him to 2 meals a day, instead of 3? I know that feeding meals more dispersed in smaller amounts will help prevent likelihood of bloat (or so I've heard?). He's only 8 months, so I may be getting ahead of myself but I'd like to know for future reference if anything.
