I agree that they should not have full run of the house but they will poop and pee in their crate or wherever they are staying. I thing free feeding is just as crazy as vacinations except for rabies. I am raising two 8 week old puppies and they have never been healthier in their life. They have never had a single shot and I also don't believe in giving shots until they are 1 year or at all. None of my animals are ever getting any shots except rabies.
