The vet said to put the food down 3 times a day instead so we weren't over feeding her and she's been doing great on it. She actually lost a few ounces now that she's not eating twice the amount she should be lol. You just don't want the puppy to end up overweight with health problems or arthritis |
I might have to try feeding him 3 times a day also. I think he is a boredom eater as well. He will lay down for about a minute and go to his food and just eat. It's like he's thinking "Ya, why not." Lol.
