Fasting is beneficial to anyone, dog or human, if done intelligently!! It gives your system a chance to clear itself out of toxins that are build up due to the so-called nutrients we take in daily. I fast my dogs one day a week, every week and I do the same thing with me as well.
Like I said, intelligence is the name of the game when it comes to these topics!! Hope I helped!!
ADD: Ops, how does the dog eat more than what I put in his bowl the day after a fast is beyond me and defies all logic.
As far as metabolism slowing down, well, that is the reason I inserted the word "intelligence" in there. I could go on a long and complicated discource on the functions of metabolism here, but, what is the use, who would listen and understand?
