I used to gorge/fast my dogs (not by choice...they usually fasted themselves) and allow them to eat a little more than 3% of their body weight (including the small dogs.) In turn, they would usually not eat the next day or two simply because they didn't want to. I always thought that it was just my funny dogs (all four of them) that would fast themselves.
So I was reading more on it. Spyro is totally fine with it and I'm sure Luna (which is already a similar size) would be ok too. It is more of Loki that I am worried about (although he has fasted himself before as well.) I Googled around and found this on another forum site.
This article says that dogs will eat up to 30% less food than a dog fed any other way. I can believe it seeing as right now my three small dogs are eating as much as my four dogs did back then (two mediums and two smalls.)
