This is the only time in my life that I have owned just one dog. In the past I had two toy poodles, and then a miniature and a standard. Since Bella is my only dog I have no feeding problems. Back when I had my miniature and standard, I would separate them for meals. They never actually got into a fight over food but whoever would finish first would occasionally get a muffled growl from the one still eating (in other words...."don't even think about taking anything out of MY bowl." ) This whole fear of having the other possibly take their food would usually make them both eat faster than they probably should have so I felt it better to separate them. Bella, since she is an "only child" (the cats don't like her food) just picks at her food through the day usually. My question is this: For those of you who have more than one dog, do you separate your dogs at feeding time? How much of a problem is food stealing at your house? I am just curious and hopefully Mugsy will weigh in here. You must have quite a balancing act at feeding time! LOL!
