My dog is almost two. She decided one day when she was about 6 months old that she was going to be a free feeder. Was such a quick change. One day, she is excited as could be to get food and scarf it all down. The next, she'd only eat about half of her helping and then the rest later in the day. As I type this, I hear her eating a bit now.
It wasn't a huge deal since my previous dogs had been free feeders. I wasn't planning to do that with her, but it works.
This becomes a problem when you have more than one though
I'd free feed then, most likely. I have had multiple dogs before and free fed. Never had an issue other than sometimes you introduce a new puppy to it and that first day or two they overeat before realizing hey this stuff is always here.
This current dog, I told the vet she did that and he just shrugged and said some prefer to eat small amounts throughout the day rather than the twice a day I was adjusting to after three times a day.
