shotgun_indy Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Just wondering if dogs are like humans, in that should they be fed before exercise? Im thinking of taking Banjo for a walk in the mornings before work and wanted to know if i should feed him before or after we get back? Thanks, Andrew & Banjo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I would suggest after then he can relax and digest his meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosepup Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I'd feed maybe 15-20 minutes after you get back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danois Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Depends what breed you have. If you have a deep chested breed (i.e. prone to bloat) then it is suggested that you do not feed an hour either side of exercise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a deep chested breed (i.e. prone to bloat) then it is suggested that you do not feed an hour either side of exercise. +1 - even with Border Collies, I follow that guideline - paranoid about bloat, even though BCs are not super prone to it. For my own convenience, I feed morning and evening - (obviously with their daily allowance divided in half roughly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
