I think if I leave food out all the time she will eat till she's sick.
Is she on Purina Puppy Chow? Of so then that could be her problem. That food is mainly grain and not enough good protein. Dogs that are fed a poor quality food tend to eat more and get fatter because they are not being satisfied. They may look healthy but after awhile health issues usually arise.
