Around the age of 8 months you can start to worry about the amount the dog eats, but don't worry till then, unless it's not enough. Some go in growth spurts and one day they will eat a lot and the next day hardly anything. |
Good advice. I free feed mine but I know that crate train try to have scheduled feedings. that's a nice size puppy so I think it will do fine on scheduled feedings 4 times a day, it's the tiny ones that you have to worry about.
