I feed them 2 cups in the morning (5am) and 3 (7pm) cups at night.

Wow, thats a lot. I know they're big kids, but 5 cups a day is quite a bit. I guess if they're maintaining them selves then it's alright.

I feed Gigi in the morning and in the evening. I also gave her a kong stuffed with treats during the day when I am not home.

[catnapper]

I give her a full bowl in the morning and Nicki free-feeds throughout the day.

She gets a cookie to come in from outside. Usually I try to limit it to one or two cookies a day.... the kids try to slip her more

i feed chipper a mix of maxx nutrition kibble, ol roy bagged gourmet soft food and warm water in the morning, at about 10-10:30..if he seems hungry at lunch time...about 1, I give him just a little bit of the soft food..and at night, about 6-7 I give him another mixture same as in the morning. He seems to work out well that way. He very rarely wants anything at lunch so he pretty much just eats morning and night, has a treat at some point and chews his rawhide the rest of the day.

Thanks to all this is really helping i know i am asking a lot of questions but....... i have another one lol. I need to break lil bit from the habit of begging cause it is driving my dad insane any suggestions??

[pitc9]

Not responding to them when they are begging will make them realize they are not going to get anything out of it!

Ignore Lil Bit when he/she begs. Don't make eye contact
Give praise when good things are done, and a big strong NO when Lil Bit does something you don't want him/her to do!

As for feeding, they get treats in the morning and when I get home from work they both get 2 cups of ProPlan dry lamb & rice, and they split a can of ProPlan. Once in a while Buddy will keep licking the bowl, so I dump more dry in, and he'll eat it.
When I first got them both they were so underweight I free fed them both for a year, Buddy would eat all day long, and Sierra would pick here and there, but would eat a good amount once a day. They both still could stand to gain more weight, but Buddy, because of being under so much stress (he is deathly afraid of my hubby) has stopped putting weight on. He's at 82 lbs, and Sierra is skinny also, but her build goes along with it, she's tall and thin.

[Rio and Me]

Rio gets 3 mugs of kibble in the morning (warm water added just to make the gravey) and thats it, treats throughout the day, on demand, rawhide stick at night.
she's a well fed pupper, when its cold i give her half a mug at bedtime just so she has something in her stomach at night.

11:30 am and 11:30 pm for the pups, Kelcee has dry food all the time.

[Kiia]

Teeko gets a half a cup of food with a fresh bowl of water first thing in the morning at 6:15 a.m. (I take the water away when he's done eating so he doesn't drink at it and have to go to the bathroom while we aren't there). Then another half a cup of food with a fresh bowl of water at dinner time 6:00 p.m., well he gets the water as soon as I get home. The water is taken away between 8:00 - 9:30, depending his activity level.

[tikeyas_mom]

I feed Tikeya at night around 5:00 pm. Once a day. only one cup. She is on a diet.

My dogs get fed their breakfast anywhere between 5:00am and 6:00am Tuesday-Saturday. Sundays and Mondays are our days to sleep in so they get breakfast anywhere between 9:00am and 12:00pm.

They get fed dinner anywhere between 5:30pm and 7:00pm.

Emily gets 1/4 cup in the morning and 1/2 cup in the evening.
Clipse gets 1/2 cup twice a day.
