really depends on youre preference... you could leave the food out all day and teh dogs will pick at it throuout the day (my mom does this), but i prefer to feed toby at specific times (with specific amounts) because he is a MAJOR food monger....... and if i leave food out all day he will end up weighing 150 lbs..........lol....... if you wanted to manage weight also you would probably use the feeding at specific times with specific amounts........ a friend of mine just measures out a cup of food and puts it in teh dish and that is the dogs food for the day (so she does a combination of measuring and leaving it out)..... it really has to deal with what is best for your babies and what kind of eating habits they have |
