It is quite likely, especially if your greyhound is very thin, that he has not been fed properly in the past and is anxious to eat as much as possible in case he does not get fed again for some time. Feeding the dogs at opposites ends of the room, or even in separate rooms, is a good idea, and feeding times should always be supervised until the newcomer realises that he is always going to have enough to eat and will never have to go hungry again.

Yes. Remember that the food plan is a well-balanced guide to sound nutrition and healthy eating. The length of time between meals is also an important part of the balance of the plan. The amounts of food and the meal times are no accident. We metabolize our food in direct relation to the balance that is designed into this food plan. Your body will become accustomed to eating this amount of food and will also adjust to the times you eat. Remember that you are not on a diet.
