Do You Feed Your Dogs Morning, Night Or Both.

[wolfgirl]

Feed morning and night here as well

All my dogs have been raised on two meals per day

Can any dog get bloat or is it strictly a large breed problem?

Dogs we've had in the past we used to put food out for and they would graze all day. If I tried that with Moose he'd be a keg. A small keg but still a keg.

Morning meal only, but I do training with them most nights (food rewards), so they really get two meals a day.

I feed Jane at night. She's almost 14 months and we found she was getting abit porky with 2 feeds a day so cut it back to 1 at 12 months. She wasn't getting alot anyway but she does seem to put condition on easily. She does however get training treats on her walks and during a training session in the evening. Only tiny amounts but with two walks a day and free shaping clicker training, they add up!

usally once a day after 7 months round about, always random times aswell, lately tho its been morning at night also at random times.

My ex's parent's Beagle got bloat, the Vet told them to stop feeding it nothing but dried food. He said that after a large meal of dried food, the dog drinks water & the food swells up in the stomach, makes sense really.

I feed both morning and night but the morning meal is mainly a sniff and a lick (and a drink), except for the epileptic boy. He needs food with his meds.

I feed both my dogs twice a day to avoid bloat, usually a mix of kibble, barf and bones.

My dogs never refuse food. The bowls are taken away immediately after they finish their meal. I never leave food around.

My dogs also get bones in the afternoon on weekends.

[Edslaine]

Both. Chicken necks in the morning and dry at night. And every two days lambs flaps, beef neck or other meaty bones.

[Parkeyre]

We feed morning and night as a bloat precaution.

Morning and night here. One meal spread over two

I feed Sophie at night anywhere in between 6-9pm and we'll often do training in this timeframe so i want her drive up there for focus so we do training with treats before she gets dinner, also helps reinforce NILIF. Puppy gets his Eukanuba morning and night, 1.5 cups in the morning, 2cups in the evening. He's growing mighty quick.

I'm interested in this whole Bloat thing - what dog's are particularly prone to bloat? Honestly I dont know much about it.

[huski]

I feed their main meal in the morning and then a smaller meal at night. Although this can depend on when we are training as I often "pay" them their meal through training treats.

[Hetzer]

I feed Kimmi twice per day. I figure that just like in people more, smaller meals per day is better than one big one, for the sake of optimising metabolism.

[cashew]

Kibbles in the morning and raw at night. Dog is 8 this year. He also gets little natural treats throughout the day.

They get fed at about 5-6 every night, and are given a biscuit each morning. They get bones randomly, too.
