| If you feel she is eathing too much at one time, you could divide the food into 3 or 4 meals. |

| I am not a fan of free feeding. That is not to say that it does not work great for some. However, no one feeding program works for every dog. Take into consideration how active your puppy is and how much they lay around and sleep. And also consider your schedule. I agree with dividing the feeding into three or four smaller meals a day. |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Bloating like you describe, as in humans, likely means you're feeding something that isn't agreeing well w/ your kiddo's particular system. You're not doing anything wrong, it's just that an ingredient may not work for your baby. Whatcha feeding for food, treats, everything...and have you changed foods since you got her?

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Also...how are her poos? Are they okay? Any gas and/or tummy noises in addition to the bloating?
