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

[ramanth]

When I only had Kia, I fed her once a day. If only because when I tried to give her a bowl of food in the morning, she wouldn't eat it. She'd just lay there and guard it and snap at the cats if they came too close.

So I stopped offering her a morning meal.

With the arrival of Chipper and because of him needing morning medication and to put on weight, he obviously needed a morning meal. So that Kia wouldn't feel left out, I offered her a morning meal too. The first couple of times, she didn't eat and again just guarded her food. So I'd take it away from her and give it to Chipper.

This seemed to shock Kia and now when they get their morning meals, she eats it all up and doesn't protest if Chipper licks her bowl looking for any leftovers.

So I guess my answer would be yes, they get a morning and evening meal.

Once here. Grant needs to drop some weight and Sadie needs to loose a little. Maggie is fine weight wise but she doesn't eat that much. They are ready to eat when they get fed which is in the evening. They will get treats/snacks too. Mine are fed raw.

I feed big raw meals so mine eat once/day, in the morning.

Twice a day for the Goof and Sequoia, 3 for Rusty as it seems to help with his thyroid issues and meds (plus i can change up his pill hiding so he isn't always sure when it is in there ) the cats free feed and we have one of the huge water bottle holder things that allows fresh water, we use a 5 gallon jug a week (not counting toilet dunks )

I feed twice a day, and a dog buiscuit for a snack.

Mine eat once a day, in the evenings.
Charlie, Buster and Nova wouldn't eat in the morning if I offered it. Nacey and Bitsy are both late sleepers and I can hardly get them to even go potty in the morning, I'd never be able to get them to eat in the morning. Jake probably would eat in the morning, but to keep him on the same schedule as the other dogs I feed him once a day too.
