My question is.........is her growth normal or is she growing to fast and is she overweight.
Should I continue to let her free feed or just give her food 3 times a day.
I just don't want to her to have weight problems at a young age.
any suggestions? |
I think her weight sounds normal, and I believe free feeding is best for pups. Don't restrict her food at this young age, and don't be alarmed if it seems she feels "rounder" sometimes. They go thru growth spurts, and then can get longer or taller, and even out over time.
