OK, I have fully transitioned my 2 fur-babies to 100% wet food. They get fed early a.m. and early p.m., with a small moist treat when Buddy finishes his nightly sub q fluid treatment (he has kidney disease). Feeding these 2 is relatively easy, except for when they want to constantly switch bowls (eat out of each other's at about half way through a feeding).
My question is this: what do I do if there comes a time when I *know* I won't get home in time for their feeding, but will be a few hours late; or if I have to miss a feeding alltogether? I know it's better for them to have the wet especially my CKD boy, but, what about leaving kibble down in small amounts occasionally? I don't mind buying a high quality dry if I am only having to use it very rarely.
Also, they do seem to have gotten used to this feeding schedule (they used to be free fed, only kibble); but sometimes I feel guilty for only feeding every 12 hours...would it be OK to leave a tiny amount of kibble for them to nibble during that 12 hour stretch? I do have a fear that the boy, who is more greedy and is the one with CKD, will just hog it all up on my girl.
Thoughts?
