    Do You Feed Your DOG/DOGS Once A Day Or Twice

    I've often wondered how often most people feed their dogs. I think that
    mostly it's according to their breed, but, for just an average weight pup.
    How often per day?

    We don't really have a time for Belle. We just fill up her food bowl and let her go whenever she pleases. She's not a big eater anyway, sometimes mom has to actually take a handful and roll each one across the floor, one by one, and she'll chase them and eat them.

    We actaully feed ours 3 times a day. They eat around 6 am, 6 pm and 10 pm. Breakfast is 1 cup, and the two evening meals are 1/2 c. each. We started splitting it up becuase when I cur Cincy's food back for her diet, she would wake me about around 3 am starving. The smaller meals seems to help her metabolism too, as she has lost about 10 lbs since I started doing this. She still needs to loose abou 10 more...

    I feed them all twice a day as adults (when we wake up which is between 6:00-10:00am depending on the day, and then again around 5:00pm). As pups, they get fed 3-4 times a day.

    Twice a day here. Breakfast whenever Bruce gets up and dinner when I get home from work.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    That's how mine are fed also. I've been trying to help Maggie lose some
    weight for quite a while now & it's not working as fast as I'd hoped. She's
    not gaining weight, so that's something I guess. I got another "your dog is
    fat" comment while out walking Maggie a few days ago. Although
    I didn't know the guy at all, he had stopped dead in his tracks as he was
    coming out of his house when Maggie and I passed by.

    It is very furstrating when Smokey could eat 3 times a day & not gain
    weight & Maggie can't even look at food without gaining weight.

    Once. This time of year dinner is at about six pm. In the summer they don't get fed until closer to 9 or 10 pm. They get water baited with some kibble at least once a day as well in the winter(along with constant access to plain ol' water)
