Bruce has always free fed and he has never over ate. That said, I think you should consider switching off Hills. It is one of the lowest quality foods on the market, it contains so many fillers and very little nutritional value. The reason vets reccomend Hills is marketing, many gets get substantial financial compensation and/or money toward their education from the manufacturer.
