I have three pups and feed them a mixture of dry and wet food that I make myself. When it was just Olive (Aussie mix) I let her free-feed. She always did great and never had any issues with her weight.
Then along came Ellie (Shih Tzu) and Rue (Schnoodle) and Olive became food aggressive (and fat).
When I prepare their food I use organic meat from Trader Joe's, organic veggies (carrots, greens, beets) and free-range chicken or beef broth minus the sodium. I also buy them free-range beef bones from the local farmer's market. So far their teeth look great with all that chewing!
It may seem excessive to some, but to me our pets are members of our family...not just animals.
