Feeding; Exercising

[Skruffy n Flea]

thank you all so much for the info you've provided --- it also clarified for me that exercising and walking are two entirely different things even tho both are necessary for the health of our dogs.

i wish my dogs participated in agility but sadly they don't so 'walks' is the most [and then there are zoomies] exercise they get.

for the most part, i'm satisfied with at least a half hour before and after --- on a hot day tho, i might extend the 'after' time even if they've had a cool bath.

thanks again, :)

i have another question about feeding:

do you feed at the exact same time each day? are you strict about the time between the feeds? do you provide a late-night snack for your dog/s?

if you can't feed them on time, do you provide a snack to tide them over?

My dogs are fed whenever. Their main meal is in the evening, it could be between 6pm and midnight. I never have a set time for feeding.

Sometimes they get a treat or bone in the mid morning, sometimes not.

My dogs are fed after they have been laying around in the house for a bit and never after, even though I now have a breed that is not prone to bloat. Leash walking is not like hooning around 5 acres twisting and turning though. A gentle lead walk I wouldn't be too worried about
