| I need suggestions please! I have always free fed Chloe and Daisy but lately I have been noticing that Daisy eats CONSTANTLY! My problem is Chloe just eats when she gets hungry she never eats right away when I put the food down for her, she just eats when she gets ready. My concern is Daisy is getting so chunky her belly is constantly hard as a rock from eating all the time and it is very round! Chloe is just so fine boned and weighs 3 lbs I don't want to take away her free feeding but I don't know what to do since Daisy wont quit eating!

| Give Daisy (the chunky one) some green beans -- they fill up their tummy so they feel full and won't eat all the time. |

| The green bean suggestion is a great idea. My vet suggested that for an overweight dog. You don't say how old the overeater is. Constant eating was a symptom of Cushing's disease in my Yorkie, but it is usually diagnosed when the dog is about 10 years of age. |
