free feeder |
I feed my lab on a schedule and I PREFER to do it that way, but Hootie and Hobbs refuse to eat on a schedule. So, to prevent a hypoglocemic attack, I free feed them and let them eat when they want to. |
Winston is fed on a schedule, cuz of hypoglycemia I leave kibble out for him all the time. And yes, plenty of treats throughout the day, has been about a month since his last "seizure", ever since I started canned food twice daily, morning and night. But with that he is gaining toooooo much weight, he was at the vets today, 8.1lbs. Does anyone know, does the "light" food have enough in it to keep his sugar up, and his weight down. I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle...:confused: |
We schedule feed. I like this method since I know exactly how much each of my girls eat. I even supervise (it takes all of 1 minute) so I can tell if one is not eating to let me know something is wrong. Plus, they poop on schedule. No ant problems (huge problem in So. Cal.) and they get soooooo dang excited when I ask if it's Breakfast time or Dinner time! If I forget they let me know too. |
Their Kibble is free feed and mid day I mix up cottage cheese, missing link, and a little wet evangers (or other wet) + salmon oil(VERY VERY LITTLE OF EACH) |
Scheduled feeding. It works better for us to have them on a schedule. :aimeeyork |
Mine are free fed. |
Free feed the Yorkies, the other two though, are on feeding schedules ;) :thumbup: |
I free feed. I heard they are less likely to have food aggression issues if it is available at all times. Plus I just wouldnt want them to get hungary and not have anything available to them. Some days I eat more or less then other days so they probably do too. I also give them some variety as I think they get tired of the same thing all the time so I usually have at least 2 different kinds available on the floor all the time. They also get occasional treats but not all the time. Fresh clean water is also always readily available. |
I too free feed. Kibble is available at all times. I don't want any hypoglycemia episodes. Have read a lot about it. Thats why I like this forum. Very informative. :thumbup: |
We free feed here. |
I feed mine on a schedule but mostly it is for my conveince. |
Free feed because Conner likes to decide when he eats. He does not like to eat when he gets up - likes to wait an hour and I have to go to work. My sister comes in to feed lunch, and he just picks at his dinner. |
Kibble i free feed his canned i give him half in the morning and the other half in the afternoon. |
The kids are on a scheduled feeding. They know when it's time to eat before I do. :rolleyes: |
