Title: Re: feeding dogs..couldnt find this on search Post by: NT-HOGGIN on October 19, 2012, 12:34:55 pm I have feeders for 3 of my dogs. A female pit, and a male and female cur. Been doin this for 2 1/2 years with these 3 dogs. I would say that I go through 2 bags a month for just those 3. The others get measured out twice daily or they would eat until they popped. I have noticed that the free fed dogs get a little pudgy come late spring, but it comes right off as soon as the heat sets in.
