I don't chop the chicken pieces, well not for a dog of her age anyway. The smaller the pieces, the easier and more likely they will wolf it down and regurgitate fairly quickly. One solid large piece has more chance of forcing them to chew and allow the digestive juices to do their job.

I'm sorry Cleas, I don't feed vegetables as no matter how much research I have done I cannot find anything that proves 100% their dietary value to me. I will however use brocolli water over food sometimes. One of my sons is like Ruby with veges - sigh. Grrr.
