Let me tell you what it used to be like when we "free fed" Muffie for all these years. She would hardly eat - was underweight - plus we never knew how much she was actually eating.
Then, we got Missy and was told by trainer to only feed her twice daily at exactly the same time every day and to only leave the food down for 15 minutes. We measure the food out and we know exactly how much she's eating. Plus, now we know WHEN they need to go outside to poop!!
We NOW do the same thing for Muffie and we know now how much she's eating PLUS she's gained some weight!
We have to feed them in SEPARATE BOWLS so as not to cause any fights over food as that's the # 1 thing dogs fight about.
So they have their own bowls plus they eat in different parts of the kitchen.
Muffie always finished first and we remove her from the kitchen right away so she won't try to get in Missy's food and cause a fight!
Good luck to all of you. |
