Dog bowl designed to keep dogs from eating too fast (thanks Ant). A good idea, but I'm not convinced… Gunnar eats two meals a day that are each over a pound of meat in probably about two minutes all told, and it looks like the only way that bowl would slow him down is the time it would take to eat the plastic nubs.

You actually feed your dog meat every day rather than a dry food?

Dogs naturally eat just meat. It is more odd for us to feed them carbohydrate based food every day. The thing I would question is though if he should be feeding them every day as a meat diet. Naturally (in the wild) dogs would go for days without eating. I could argue it would be more healthy for him to do the pure meat diet (like he said many times he does) but only feed them every other day.
It sure would save Blue a good bit of money to feed him every other day.

It is indeed meat every day for the BlueDogs, a blend of raw meat, bone, and veggies. You can Google BARF (Bones and Raw Food) diet to learn about the concept, but Enahs has surmised the essense of it, that it is their "natural" diet.

Where is that vet when you need him? I would be curious to hear what a vet would say.

Many Vets aren't wild about this, but like their human doctor counterparts, most of them are surprisingly weak on nutrition. They also get lots of support from dog food manufacturers.

And Enahs also intuited another part of it... the dogs generally fast one day a week.
