When dogs are free-fed and are able to control their food intake, the positive result can be seen in their lean bodies. If dogs have enough food to eat throughout the day, they tend not to overeat. This advantage of free-feeding is seen by fur parents who practice free-feeding.
At the beginning of a dog’s free-feeding journey, he might gain weight. But as the days pass by and he’s already used to having food any time he wants to eat, he may stop overeating and eventually slim down.
It is a good idea to start free-feeding as early as puppyhood so that your puppy can adapt to the feeding method. Your dog may have a hard time transitioning from the traditional scheduled feeding method to free-feeding. He might get not get used to it easily which can result in changes in his eating habits, and eventually, his health may suffer. Seek advice from your vet when planning to shift feeding methods.
