When my mom lived with me we had a terrible time with feeding. My two boyz are very picky eaters and do not eat well. I feed them a little wet food in the mornings, because they just do not eat dry food very well and were losing weight. I don't feed enough wet food to sustain them because I want them to eat some dry as I've been told it's better for their teeth, if they eat some dry food everyday (is that true?).
In order to get them to eat dry food though, I have to free feed as you can never tell when they will eat. My mom's dog is a glutten and will eat till he throws up, if allowwed. So, I had to keep the boyz dry food way back in my office and keep an eye on rusty (mom's dog) that he didn't go back there. If we left the house and didn't shut the office door, he would always go back there and eat all the dry food. He has terrible back problems (he's a doxy) and even had back surgery a few years ago. So, he CAN'T be overweight. It was a battle for sure to keep him out of the boyz dry food!!!
