@Nimmeril, sorry did not see this. Their behaviour feels a bit work in progress. They will only look for food nearby I believe, so if you're out and about they will eat from large meat chunks and or anything you drop when they are hungry. When not on follow and in town they "should" eat from the kennel if food there (if you got a worker or do it manually, but we've had a few bugs with it).

Does my character need to carry their food with themselves? Or do they return to kennel to eat if I stuff it with meat?
