Just a comment on cooking food for your dog. I have a smaller dog that I have to cook for or he won’t survive. I cook a month’s worth of food in two 8 qt and 1 7 qt crock pots. I cook the food, cool it overnight, measure it the next day and then freeze it. Of course my dog is a Cairn Terrier, 17 lbs which is smaller than your dog. I’ve been cooking his meals for over 7 years. He has IBS and is VERY sensitive to food. I found a good diet (thanks to my vet) and my guy is happy and healthy. My little guy has a hearty appetite and tends to eat fast but isn’t that kind of a natural instinct? Didn’t their ancestors have to eat fast to get their share or in case a bigger animal challenged their kill? I look at it this way……I’m ecstatic every time I put the bowl down and he is eager to eat…I remember the days when he wouldn’t eat and had diarrhea, bloating, bloody mucus, vomiting, rumbling stomach….and I’m happy to see him scarf his food down. Then I know he’s ok.
