Free feeding also can cause major tensions and fights.
The more pups you have the more likely you will have a problem. |
Joey will refuse to eat and then throw up bile if I don't have something for him to pick at and although Callie wont refuse to eat she will throw up bile if she doesn't snack a little during the day. Nobody is food aggressive luckily. Callie who has cushings doesn't even over eat the dog food. I have raised them all that way so I would feel very bad suddenly changing it on them. I know it very rarely works to free feed but it seems to work ok here minus not being able to get the puppy to eat the actual puppy food. I wish I could leave that down but Callie snagged some when I was trying to feed the puppy and I was up all night with her throwing up so I have to be extremely careful with the puppy food. I wonder if wet puppy food would be better for the puppy.....
