I free feed all three of mine. Works great no over eaters |
We free feed. Mamma spoils him with diced chicken also. I was walking him 3 miles daily but he seems uncomfortable with that currently. It's about every other day now. My point is exercise to match eating or whatever you think best. |

I did free feeding the first 2 months of having Rasta then I noticed his food would disappear after maybe 10 minutes. I would refill it and it would disappear again. Spoke with my vet who told me how much I should be feeding him and just divided it into 2 portions for morning and night. He also gets snacks throughout the day. If it were up to Rasta he'd eat all day, he's a pig lol |
I have to free-feed because my dogs are picky, and I figured out that is better to let them decide when they're hungry instead of me dictating when they should eat. No weight problem at all. Food and water diss appear 2hrs before sleeping. |
I don't free feed because my cat loves to eat his food . Also my picky one likes the smell of the fresh. |
I free feed to an extent. I measure out their allotted portions, however if we leave, I don't leave their food bowls down-only when someone is home, and not at night when we're sleeping. (I am home a lot of the time during the day) I have heard horror stories of pets choking on food and it scares me, so I don't leave them unsupervised with food. Lately, Allie has had food 24/7 and I fill her bowl anytime it's empty, but she's in the master bathroom, 4 feet from me and I hear her at night when she's eating, and I get up with her when she goes in to feed the puppies (she does better when I'm sitting with her). |
I "free feed" my yorkie because it was suggested by the breeder but I do it a bit differently. I take the food amount she's supposed to eat each day and half it. The first half usually lasts her until evening time where she's fed again to munch till the next feeding(A.M). |
