the_commoner Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 i feed my dog once in the evening after her walk usually about 9pm ish ................. is there a right and wrong time ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 I am sure that there is a million right and wrongs for this, I feed my springer once in the morning after his walk and once in the evening before his walk. The only reason he gets fed twice is that if I give him his whole daily ammount in one go he will scoff it down and then promptly throw it all back up.

al4x Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 as said a lot depends on the dog, mine has ad lib food put down in the morning and she picks on it through the day. As she doesn't have a weight problem I find it makes them less obsessed about food so you don't get the scoffing down of as much as you put down and over eagerness whenever food is about. I've done this with the last few dogs and its worked well but you do have to start it off from a puppy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustyfox Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 I feed my dog twice a day with two and a half mug fulls of dry dog food in each meal usually an hour before or after his walks. My dog gets a lot of excerise but if I see him getting to fat I reduce the amount of food in each meal. Df Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taff915 Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 im a dog handler and all the dogs get split feeds either twice or three times a day, being split fed helps ease digestion, also a short walk about half an hour after a feed helps with digestion. its not advisable too feed after exercise as some breeds are likely to get a twisted gut.

2shots Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 We feed twice a day an hour before walks 7.30 am and 4.00pm 200grams beta and 1/4 tin meat at each feed, if we feed later in the day the dogs are up all night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
