We've just taken on a lovely 9 year old golden retriever. He has fitted in very well with our other two elderly rescues. The only problem is his greediness. The other two eat when they're hungry and there is always food out for them. I understand this was done in their last home so it's what they're used to.
New dog is very food orientated and over the day will eat up the other two dogs food. I thought this would balance itself out and the other two would realise they needed to eat more quickly in order to get their portion. Trouble is they are too polite to take their food before he does.
All dogs still seem to be happy particularly new dog but several days later it hasn't sorted itself out.
Any ideas?
