It was brought up that I free feed. I want to add a few notes about this. None of my dogs scarf food down and all pick at food and are not over weight. I am disabled so I am home with them just about every single day 24/7 and because of where their food is and how open our house is I can see who is eating when and what. I do pick it up before bedtime so we don't have mice or bugs or anything like that in the food. Obviously this is dry food because you can not leave wet out all day. Free feeding doesn't work with every dog obviously if they eat their food fast and eat everything as well as have weight issues it certainly isn't good for them. With one dog you can still measure it out and tell what they are eating. I work very hard training my dogs and jumping on training if I start to see any issues arise and my dogs have no food aggression what so ever but some do which would be another reason not to free feed. I think you have to take everything into consideration and make decisions based on that dog.
