Thanks everyone for the advice. I'm considering free-feeding but I'm not sure how to get him into it from a 3-time a day schedule. I figure the quality of the food makes a difference. The previous owner was giving him some Costco brand which doesn't have as much proper nutrients. I'm working Orijen into his diet which packs a lot more per cup.

As far as today went. He wasn't free-fed, but was fed as much as puppy calculators out there have said, and he's a lot less bloated, but a bit gassy (probably due to the switch).

Thanks everyone for the advice. I really like him eating on a schedule, but free feeding would be a lot easier.
