benny123 Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I feed twice a day. One third of daily food at 6.00am and two thirds between 4.00 and 5.00pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ell&diesel Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 What was this thing on Sunrise, did they give any explanation? It was about destructive dogs, but the vet mentioned that it was better to feed in the morning (no explanation) and that you can put the dogs kibble into a buster cube or something to keep them occupied. Hmm. Would have been interesting to find out why, maybe they meant that if you feed a destructive dog in the morning they are less likely to destroy because they're all full of food & would rather sleep in the sun than dig to China Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huski Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I feed my beagle and husky in the morning and the morning only, to keep them lean as they put weight on very easily and feeding in the morning is supposed to help with weight control. Cherry I feed twice a day, morning and night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbbb Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 i voted Morning and night here... as Danes Dobes can bloat, so mine get lamb flap or chicken carcass for brekkie and chicken mince and kibble of a night ditto apart from the breed.

Staffyluv Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Ollie has medication 4 times a day, so he gets fed morning and night (because some of the meds he takes are better taken before meals). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leema Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I feed my dogs whenever. It's normally in the evening but I try to switch things up to keep things interesting. They also have meals as training. They rarely get lunch so I didn't vote for lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashka Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Little dogs generally do better on 2 meals a day. "Empty tummy bile vomiting" can be a problem with once a day feeding as they eat so little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dagny Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 What is this about all these dogs bloating? I have never herd of this before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Anne~ Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I feed twice a day at 5.30am and 5.30pm. Our feeding schedule is predicted by my epileptic Pug. The morning meal is smaller then the evening meal. Bloat is a condition that affects large breeds and or deep chested dogs. The intestines/stomach twist and this casues a build up of air and secretions. The stomach can also twist over and around other vital organs and it supresses blood flow and therefore oxygen to the organs and the stomach.

puggy_puggy Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Mine get their food at 5pm. If it's bone day they will get that at about 12pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nksyd Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 A cup of Orijen in the morning, and one at night. A pigs ear or bone etc in the day along with some doggie biscuits in a plastic bottle or kong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dee lee Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I feed my dog after I eat brekkie and dinner. I used to only give her her food in kongs, bones etc but am trying to emphasise pack structure so make it a big deal that she eats after me. Hmm, never thought about only feeding once a day. Is it supposed to be better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MolassesLass Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Dry food for breakfast and BARF for dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO that's a furphy. I am sure some will disagree though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feed both my dogs in the morning. My lab needs all the help she can get to burn off the calories, rather than letting it sit unused overnight. My ACD became constipated so I thought the exercise during the day would keep things moving. These may be fallacies but it seems to work.

IMO that's a furphy. I am sure some will disagree though. Its just part of the "new regime"- which is working brilliantly, so I am sold on the pack structure theory. It doesn't hurt to do make her wait, and I do think that the actually feeding rather than leaving the kongs has made an impact. She still gets bones etc when we go out for a couple of hours, but now she understands I have the power over when she gets food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loraine Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I feed at night (in the early evening). I have always fed adult dogs one meal a day in the evening. Only pupd had a different schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoemonster Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I feed my beagle and husky in the morning and the morning only, to keep them lean as they put weight on very easily and feeding in the morning is supposed to help with weight control. I do the opposite, I feed right before they go to bed as otherwise they end up looking anorexic, they work it off so quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
