How to stop my puppy eating adult dog food from auto feeder at night?

Question

My girlfriends dog savannah has a dog bowl that refills itself when empty because she eats whenever she gets hungry ( min pin, small dog 7 years old) however my 4 month old balto keeps eating hers instead of his puppy food when my girlfriend and I are sleeping. I noticed this as he has gained weight in his stomach and her food is empty though i filled it 2 days ago. What can I do in this situation ? Min pin is use to it being out but I do not want balto a pomsky to be overweight or health issues. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 4 months and 21 days old | 11 lbs

Poor pup. Unfortunately you will either have to crate Balto at night to prevent him from getting to the food bowl or stop using the automatic feeder that refills when empty and switch to one that just lets out at select times of day. Most automatic feeders can be set to twice daily feedings and this will reduce the chance of Balto eating the other pets food greatly. I hope that you are able to keep Balto from getting overweight here moving forward. Best wishes and take care!
