Wild carnivores eat what they can catch. If they can't catch they don't eat, initiating an intermittent fast essential to maintaining a healthy gut. To imitate this scenario you should vary your pet's recipes, daily ration, feeding times and fast them at least 1 day a week. The idea is not to feed less food, but to feed the right amount of food less often, meaning that your pet's total weekly ration should maintain an ideal weight based on your pet's activity level*.
