Max eats about 4 cups of dry dog food once a day & its not left out all day either, he has an hour to eat it or its put away (unless hes finishing it off), & heres why:

1. 4 cups is all he needs
2. anything more then 4 cups once aday could put ur dogs tummy into a knot, that'll require surgery to correct or the knot will kill him
3. WILD wolves on avg eat once a day
4. it prevents him from needing to go outside for a poop or pee 50 times a day!!!!!!! He poops once a day (morning), some times twice (at night; very rare), & he pees about 3 times a day (one in the morning, one when dad gets home from work, & one just before dad goes to bed)
5. it helped him build a stronger/larger bladder & his bowels don't have to work too hard... basically he'll have a less chance of peeing/pooping in the house because he can't hold himself.

This time of the year doesn't count for Max. He always gets sick around this time & he has accidents in the house, but only cause hes sick & his poop is runny so there is no way in hell he can hold it in. Max has had a sensitive tummy since day one & cannot eat people food. Max can only eat one brand of food, which is the best in canada, its "Nutro" Senior (Max is 9 yrs old)
