I do not think you should let him eat and drink whenever he wants. I think that would make it impossible to potty train him. I think you should have water down at all times, but food should be taken up after 15 minutes, or when he walks away from it for awhile. Otherwise, not only will he be snacking constantly and needing to poop more, he will get fat! Savannah started gaining weight and the vet told me to only feed her twice a day (she is 3 years old) and take the food up after she eats. Until she got pregnant I started doing that, as well as putting her on maintenance food to help her lose some of that extra weight. When they are pregnant and nursing, the vet recommends giving them puppy food because it helps with milk production, but once the puppies are weened, back to maintenance food. |
