We are over a week into the raw feeding and I can potentially see problems arising. I have never dealt with any sort of food aggression and have had multiple dogs at a time. I have not seen anything as of yet but I can sense a tension in the room. I am wondering if feeding in their cages would eliminate any conflicts before they have a chance to arise. This is a whole new situation for me. I want to be 100% vigilant and proactive. Please share your solutions for a multiple dog home. Thank you!
isn't that amazing? That must be good food for them to be willing to fight over?
I have 3 dogs, all males and they never fought over kibble, I swear one day I thought I saw my older dog kick his dish over to the younger pup lol.
But seriously the first thing I noticed is how happy they was ready to eat when I started the raw. They all would dance away when I started to get the food out. They never danced for kibble.
How I handle my dogs now is, I learned not to leave the room when I feed them and I used my leg to guide them away from one another if they became curious on what the other brother had.
slowly with sticking with this routine, they have learned to just eat. So, far so good and it's been 6 months.
It was hard in the beginning as well for me, as I said they got excited over this raw food and I was not prepared for that.
This would be a good point to bring up for first timers, because it is true on how they react to it, they love it!
