| Feeding schedules? So when and how much do your babies eat during the day? Do you feed once, twice, free feed? I have been free feeding for a while now, but thinking of going back to doing it 2 times per day. Its hard for me to tell how much the little guys are eating since the bowl is full all the time. And it been hard for me to get London to eat her wet food because she is munching on dry through the day and is never super hungry. I am REALLY wanting to try raw again with them, so would feed that twice per day and treats in between meals. Can you guys tell me what you do as far as feeding, so I can compare and get some ideas? What kind of food/treats do you give as well? I know the amounts will vary based on size and other things... Thanks ladies!

| I feed Bella 1/4 of dry honest kitchen twice daily and then put down a bowl of innova in case she gets hungry. it usually takes about 3 days to finish a bowl. the bowl probally holds a cup at the most. i put a teaspoon of cottage cheese a couple of times a week either in her food or with apples or banana. she doesnt know the diff between treats and her kibble. she gets excited when i give her a treat and it is just a kibble. if she does smothing worth rewarding i pull a piece or two from a small ziplock bag i keep filled with kibble. I make her a chicken liver organic treat also. She gets a couple every other day or so. |

| I feed homecooked three times a day and I'd probably do the same if I fed kibble.

| We just leave Canidae dry food out for them 24/7 and haven't had any problems. We haven't had any weight issues. |
