The article continues with helpful information.
It also depends a lot on the dog and puppy. Mine are pickers and like to have a few bites here and there so free feeding works for some just as scheduled meals work for others. Yorkie puppies can still have hypoglycemia even after 3 months so I disagree with your article.
