I had free feed lucy when she was young & now with pebbles too. They usually only eat when someone is home anyway. I always leave water down around the clock. But I don't have crates, I enclose the babies in the kitchen for when I'm gone long periods, with potty pads.

Honestely it is up to the person. I was not going to leave water in my dogs cage all day so that he can pee all over himself and the cage while we are gone. He got water every four hours. If the police want to come and get me, be my guest. He is now trained so we leave him water all of the time. I don't care what the law is, I am not training my puppy to pee all over himself I think that is way more inhumane than not giving him water for a few hours.
