My experience has been that a hungry dog is a dog that will eat his or her food.
That said, I do not like to feed food my dogs don't really like. I cooked chicken for months because Zig and Tink would not eat the raw. Eventually after seeing the other dogs eat it, they started stealing it and now both are eating the raw.
But at the same time, my dogs are always good and hungry at mealtimes. I watch them like the proverbial hawk, and if I see them looking a little hefty, I cut back. So they're just getting what they need every day. Overfeeding is a very common cause of pickiness in my opinion.
How is Calvin's weight?
