The method of feeding you use depends on what kind of eater you have. Free feeding only seems to work for dogs that only eat to live (I tried it with Roxy, but she ate it all at once). :P[/B]

Yupp, and some dogs only live to eat!

I was told by my vet to feed 3x daily til 4 mos...then twice. Free feeding is fine if you don't need your pup to be on a schedule for pooping....this is a must for me as mine is potty trained to the great outdoors...LOL!

Omg! I almost forgot! That is a great way to go about potty training! My first puppy was never potty trained and Gigi came to me already potty trained so I never really dealt with that before LOL

Oooh the potty training thing is an excellent point. I definitely think I'll keep her on a schedule now. Thanks!!

For the first few months I had London I fed her 2x per day, but she was over eating (not overweight, but eating way more than she needed to) so I started free-feeding per suggestion here on SM and she eats much less now and is at a great weight. London has a normal poo schedule even though she is free-fed. She usually pees & poops around 6am, then poops again at 9am or so (weird), goes pee throughout the day, and pees & poops just before bedtime at 10pm.

ok

i just wanted to say something, because on another forum I am on, people randomly click whatever without thinking-- it was a disaster, lol so many people got viruses! I wanted to protect against potential messes

Ugh, I'm glad the admin. removed that post, I get enough spam in my email...LOL! Seriously, why would someone do that?!? I hope no one clicked on the link, SM is just supposed to be a peaceful forum (with some friendly debates). :P

I've been MIA for the past two days so I didn't see the post/link. I had no idea people posted spam in maltese forums, don't they have anything better to do? Sigh.

well back to topic! how is the feeding going?

**angelgirl599** · 05-13-2009, 02:55 PM

It's going really well so far, I've only had her for a day but I think she's doing well. Also she holds her pee in and stuff really really well and waits until there's newspaper to go on even though she's just a few months!
