Mealtime Frequency

Obesity can cause your dog to have high blood pressure and an elevated heart rate.
You can keep your dog lean by feeding him or her a well-balanced, quantity-controlled diet.
The age and size of your dog determines the number of times he or she should eat each day.

Using the free choice method—that is, letting your dog eat whenever and however much he or she wants—could significantly increase your dog's risk of becoming obese.
You might want to have set feeding times for your pooch so you can monitor your dog's diet.
