[quote=Anonymous]Our rescue mutt (lab pointer) started out missing meals. We'd put down a full bowl while we ate breakfast when the family was done eating the bowl went away, same for dinner. She is high energy so we couldn't believe that she could miss a meal and not care. Our cats are schedule eaters and if you miss, by so much as a minute they are making sure you remember. Finally after several months our dog now eats her bowl when we eat (breakfast and dinner). If she leaves anything in the bowl at the end of meal time it goes away. Remember you can control the quantity of food based on size, age, etc. Our cats would eat all day long if we let them but we have one cat that needs to lose weight so we have to be carefully she eats what we give her and doesn't free eat. Our dog would probably be fine as a free eater but we decided it worked better for all of us is she was also on a schedule.[/quote]
