I would feed Kasparov according to the instructions on his bag of food, and do not give him anything additional. More than likely, he will like the rice and chicken better, and become picky, refusing to eat his puppy food. It’s also extra calories he doesn’t need. He doesn’t need to be rewarded for eating his food. Just give him the puppy food only.
