Joey's breeder said to free feed till they are 6-7 months in order to prevent hypoglycemia. I don't think you really need to worry about weight the first 6 months, they go through growth spurts and some days will eat twice as much as other days, and you want that food available until they have at least reached 4 pounds. After that, twice a day is fine for most dogs, but some dogs are free fed their entire lives and never get fat. |
