My girl gained 2 lbs in about 4 wks getting into the puppy chow so I now leave the puppy's bowl in his ex-pen. He jumps in of out during the day but the 12yr old won't go in there. He still eats out of her bowl when he happens to be in near it. They both drink out of her bowl when he is out of the ex-pen. |
Right now Lexi is still on the puppy formula, but I can definitely see that being a problem when she starts on the adult. Thank, I didn't even think of that! Guess I will have to figure that out when the time comes.

Thanks for the info. So, do you not really worry about how much they are eating since they all eat out of the same bowl? I'm not too worried about Lexi overeating, but I always measure out how much I put in the bowl.
