 Free Feeding?!?
I feed my dogs canned food 2 times a day and I've always kept a bowl of dry food out to snack on. My dogs would occasionally go by and grab a bite or late at night, it would be a snack as a last resort when I wouldn't give them any more treats...but I was never filling the bowl more than 2 or 3 times a week. The dry food was Royal Canine Yorkie.
A few weeks ago, I switched the boys over to Wellness Core Small breed and they really seem to like the food. I was actually pretty surprised at how much they really liked it. Almost every morning now, the bowl is empty. I am glad they like the food, but I am wondering if I should be leaving a bowl out for them to munch on like that. I can't really tell which one is eating what, and on top of that...it's possible that the cat could be eating the food herself. She LOVES dog food and prefers it over her kitty food.
Do other people free feed their dogs here?? Is there a reason I should or should not leave dry food out all of the time?? |
