BTW, I have done this and never had a pup go so long that he was hypoglycemic. It is rare for a healthy pup to do that.
I so agree! Excellent advice. I think many of us indulge our puppies too much. I know I do.

It's like my mom used to fuss at me because I indulged my skin kids...they will do what they can get away with. The doctor said the same...food on the table if the wont eat do not give dessert!
