My gsd girl is 6 months old and weighs 50 lbs. She's always been a pretty light eater and lean looking. I feed her a mix of Acana kibble and Northwest Naturals raw food. I feed her 3 times a day.
I've read that mixing kibble and raw can be hard on the digestion, but I've not seen it as a problem and some articles have disproved that theory. Still, I worry that I'm doing something wrong.
Some days, she eats very little and it seems like she favors any other food over the kibble. I have to admit, she's probably a little spoiled, because I do add all kinds of things to her food such as, home cooked meats, cooked vegetables, goat yogurt, bone broth, nutritional yeast, sardines, egg yolks.
The problem is that I never know how much to feed her, because she'll be like a bottomless pit some days and will basically fast other days. I don't want her to not eat, because of something I'm doing wrong and I don't want her to eat too much, because I give her special foods she can't resist like chicken and Yams.
Ideally, I'd put her in an all raw diet, but I wouldn't want it to be pre-made, but I don't have the time, recorces, or knowledge to make it myself. Is there a happy medium, like what I'm already doing? Or does it seem like I should do better?
