Thank you VERY much Igmuska I am TRULY a NEWBIE. I take ALL of the advice and information I can this is my first dog of ANY kind. I know NOW to limit during or immediately AFTER exercise, but what about before or AFTER meals? I've THOROUGHLY done my homework and research but I was run into conflicting information. Now, how about rather the bowl should be raised or not? I've also seen conflicting reports about THAT as well.
