Some dog owners think that their dogs have a lean weight due to free feeding. The reason for this is that the dog does not see the need to overeat. The dog does not have to worry about getting hungry because food is always available.
But this setup only works for a dog with robust self-control. For dogs who eat a lot at the sight of food will not benefit from free feeding. However, some dogs may gain some weight at the start of free feeding. Eventually, the weight tapers off when the dog becomes used to the routine.
It is better to begin the free-feeding scheme when the dog is still young. If you introduce this method to an adult dog that is more familiar with a meal schedule, you might endanger your pet. Some dogs may experience bloating. Also, bloating is a dangerous condition that may happen to your dog.
A sudden change in your pet’s drinking and/or urinating habits should be brought to the attention of your vet Carmel Valley.
