Probably because kibble is so dry and compact. It will change and expand a bit in the gut once eaten. Table scraps and raw...well they kind of are what they are. I feed everything but when I feed kibble it's usually not more than 1.5 cups at a time. I have heard of dogs bloating (and dying) that were only raw fed so I think there is possibly a genetic component as well.
