Whatever she doesn't eat when i put food in her bowl, i leave it for her to have throughout the day. then at dinner, i will add more to it. usually, by the end of the day, the bowl is empty. not all the time, but sometimes. i'm sure daisy snacks on it a little too  |
When Lacy ate kibble, I put 1/2 cup in her bowl in the morning and she might grab a bite throughout the day and would usually eat it in the evening. I could never get her to eat it as soon as I set it down. With her raw diet she gobbles it up - I feed her twice a day. Why do you think you're feeding Maggie too much? Does she seem to be overweight to you? You should be able to clearly feel their ribs without a layer of fat over them - but not to where you can feel every bone in their body. Have you asked your vet what they think of her body composition?
