how many of yall free feed? as in always keep food out for the dogs to eat as much as they want? how many dogs do you do this with and how long does a 50 lb bag of food last?

i feed my pups twice a day and my dogs once a day every night at 7 unless im hunting then its when we get back from hunting i know a few people that use feeders that they just fill but knowing what your dogs eating has always helped me to know if somethings wrong as if i know that dog eats 2.5 scoops every day without fail and i go check after feeding and he or she hasnt ate there food i know theres prob something going on with them, i do think its important to watch a hunting dogs diet and i really dont know thats possible when your free feeding

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.
