One thing I'm not used to with a basset is how they'll eat and eat and eat and drink and drink and drink, even if they're not actually thirsty or hungry. I read up as much as I could on how because they tend to bloat and overeat, that you should feed and water bassets multiple times a day and not let them over do it.
We've been doing good with the food (cause there are lots of websites saying how much a 12 week old should be eating) but with the water we're having a few problems. We either seem to be over doing it with water (and she fills up and then pees ALL over the house multiple times, and her belly gets full and uncomfortable) or I'm thinking we under do it because she cries at the gate in the hallway right where the bathroom is (I think her old owners let their dogs drink out of the toilet because once she dove right through the gate and went straight to the toilet like she knew exactly what it was).
So I was curious what feeding schedules everyone else finds work for them?
