| Small Animal Clinical Nutrition textbook on free vs. scheduled feeding. Okay, I have access to my textbook. It weighs a ton, and I have to balance it in order to read and type, so bear with me. From the textbook, I would draw the conclusion that feeding method is more critical for large and giant breed dogs than it is for small breed dogs like Yorkies... Quote:

| Kat123 and free feeding Kat. I have no idea why your girl does this, most amusing to watch though, I am sure. Perhaps she is hiding it from her pups? As for free feeding, I wish I could do it for my nine year old boy. He too gets sick if he is too long without food and I would like to free feed. However, he gobbles all his kibble down in a microsecond of me putting the food down and would eat all day long if I let him. It is hard to limit his food so that he does not get overweight, so I feed three or four times a day with a few kibble as snacks in between if he is starving. I think the Hills ID low fat he eats to ward off pancreatitis is not very satisfying and gets digested very quickly. I did try adding lean chicken breast to augment the kibble but that did not seem to work either. A good thing about regular meals means regular pees and poops!
