| Free Feeding w/mulitple dogs - Questions?????? I free feed my Yorkie and Lhasa, they both eat the same food (Innova EVO). They both have seperate bowls, food and water. Of course, they don't care who's is who's and eat out of both. So, my question is for those who have mulitple dogs and you free feed, how do you tell if both have gotten the amount they are suppose to have for the day. (Does that sound right?) Thanks, Stacie |

| I would guess that if they completely eat all of the food out of both bowls, and stand around the feeding area waiting for more, that they are still hungry or may need more food. Just watch that they eat something everyday, I really don't think you are going to starve a Yorkie unless you don't leave any food out for them for days... |

| I agree with fasteddie. If you notice that one seems to be begging a little more than the other or one is standing there waiting for food or licking the empty dish then you might want to keep an eye on them. |

| I have two! Tilly (10yr) & Sami (5mo) and it is almost difficult to tell because tilly being older & pushy was always eating both hers and his, so I put sami's bowl in my bedroom near his crate and left tilly's in the laundry room, she still eats his no matter where I put it! and it has helped by separating the bowls so I just make sure both their bowls have food & water at all times but they really don't eat all their food in one sitting, I noticed sami will grab a morsel and sit and eat it one at a time! and then retrive another, tilly will stand over her bowl and eat but there is always food left in her bowl and as well in his, so this seems to work for them? I have always free fed tilly she has always been fed this way, but should their water bowl be empty they both will talk(bark) and let me know they need water.. |
