I have a pack of 3 that live together loose in my house. They sleep together and eat together. I feed each in their own bowl and just supervise til they are done. None of them will try to steel from the other. When all are done they go over each others bowl with a fine toothed tongue for any remains. All happy healthy dogs. I have 2 Shepherds and a Border Collie and the border collie is a wee thing but they all respect each others space. I will throw raw meaty bones out into the yard and they all go from bone to bone no fights. And they don't eat small children wither LOL!

I always laugh when I go to my sisters house and see the chickens, dogs and cats all eating out of the same bowl. No food agression there.

feeding tree times a week I would not do that on kibble, I would just increase the chance of bloat, but raw is another matter
dogs are not born to eat like us, they are not apes that needs to too feed multible times a day too get the blood sucker up the liver in the dogs will make sure of this
If that what the case predators in the wild would go instinct, if the lost energy or had too eat every day, predators are born too eat large meals and fill there stomachs until they drop and then rest for a couple of days
an emty stomach dogs works alot better than a stomach in with food

actually my dogs and the dogs I know of fed like this have never done better and the energy level much better than when they where fed 6 days a week
the absorbtion of food is even better now than before becourse of the larger meals they get, to sometimes really allow them too feed what a canivores should do eat undtil they leave the food themselves

Myret, if that works for you fine by me. I would not do it and I would be too worried about bloat for one thing. Our dogs are not wild animals and although their digestive system is virtually identical to wolves their structure and breeding is not. I would need to study the average lifespan and mortality rates to see how it compares to my GSD's.
