| Changing from free feeding to timed feeding Aloha to all,
I have a Rott/pit/lab Mutt and a new 9 wk old Rott puppy. I used to "Free Feed" my mutt before I got the puppy. I was uneducated that it was soooo bad, but despite that my mutt is a very healthy weight with a shiny coat and absolutely no health issues. I recently just switched my mutt to "Timed Feeding" because I have to monitor especially how much my puppy is eating.
I tie both dogs up and try to give them only 10 min. to eat. My Rott puppy gobbles all her food in the 10 min. with no problem, but my Mutt barely eats 1/4th of his food each time. He has been doing this for 2 days. I take away the food as I am trying to train him to eat at the specific time.
How long should I let this last if he has no signs of being sick? |
