We're pretty much letting Lady Miss graze. Keeping some food in her dish from 8am until 6pm. When do you recommend I put her on a 2 or 3 times a day schedule?

I fed on a schedule from day one. It makes their potty training easier. But if free feeding is working for her, she maintains a healthy weight and she isn't having a hard time potty training I wouldn't worry about it. Some dogs free feed for life.

Tie would eat all the food at once if i tried free feeding him. he's a pig who will eat until he's sick given the option

I feed Lucky at around 7:30am. Then feed her again around 5:30pm. (And, of course a treat or two usually around lunchtime)

[Ron]

oh right i forgot about treats

Boo with eat until she pukes and then eat her puke. Gross, right?

I think Keepers could free feed but it's too hard with two dogs.

Mine also get treats before bed. Boo has acid reflex and having a bite or two before bed helps her not puke in the morning.

lol yeah Tie would do the same. On the oposite side of things, my brother and his wifes doberman, could care less about eating. It's like a chore to him. They've tried a pile of different foods, special toppings (gravy) but nothing makes him really "want" to eat.

some dogs are just different then
