I have always free fed mine...My sister thought the same thing, if she free fed, they wouldn't stop eating, so, while we were both up visiting my mom, my sister went out(she had brought 2 of her 5 dogs up to my moms), well, I put food down for them, and they ate and ate, and then all of a sudden they quit, they were full...a lot of times, I have seen they will eat more to begin with, but, once they realize they don't have to fight for the food, they will start slowing down..as far as the pooping, well, ginger is going on 16 weeks, she has her food down all day until around 5:00, she poops twice a day |
