Feeding.....?

I feed the dog twice a day; noon and evening. At noon she gets her "fun bowl".....yummy tidbits scattered around in a 'slow-down' bowl.
My husband calls this the torture bowl; naturally I disagree.
In the evening I mix something meaty, usually leftover meat or sometimes a few spoonfulls of meaty canned dogfood with her portion of kibble.
The cats have free-choice dry cat food + a ration of canned food in the evening.

Your dog doesn't flip the bowl over and dump the food out?
She never has.....it's kind of a flattish design, so maybe that's the secret? I know a guy who uses one just like this for his German Shepherd, he says it works real good for slowing his dog down & has never mentioned the bowl tipping over.
Trapper's 'main' bowl is like this:

I have two cats and right now I'm feeding them Orijen cat food. They get fed about 2-3 times a day. Once when I wake up at around 6 am to get ready for work, then when I get home around 3:50-4:00 PM. Then again before bed so around 9:30-10:00 PM...and it starts all over again.
She's definitely smarter than her keepers, but maybe that's one area where humans have an edge.If I was a dog, I'd figure out a way to tip it over
Do you stick to that schedule on the weekends?

When i had both cats because my older cat was eating very little at that time, and was sick for many years she had few bites each time , and was asking always for food....
so i was putting wet food every time she asked and this was more then 7 times a day as she was having very little and i could not put a lot of this as was going off quick or got dry
she was underweight too and she loved more the wet food ... but there was always there 24/7 dry food ....
Now that i have one cat left and after so many years i didn't change the way i give food .... i still have dry cat food on the bowl all the time but i only give wet food once a day in the evening that's the only part changed

That is exactly the pattern that I feed mine in; with the exception that I'll normally give mine a highly limited "dose" of little treats (Temptations)
.... 5 each.

It's so sad watching the old ones 'go'; their organs are gradually shutting down & failing.
