Changing feeding patterns for dogs

[wiggy]

We have always given our whippet three small meals a day. That was the pattern he was on when we got him and as at that time we both worked from home we left him on it. 5 years down the line we could do with getting him onto 2 meals - one in the morning and one in the evening.

Have any of you any experience of this kind of thing.

I went the other way as my dog had tummy problems so we now give him 4 smaller meals a day.
Just do it as you wish as your dog will get used to it as it becomes the norm.

We give ours a large bowl once a day, hes been getting too dominant in the house so we have been trying to win some back!

Seems to be working though

[DMR]

Always been one big meal in the evening for ours although she does quite well during the day on the scrounge.

She had porridge/milky biscuits in the mornings as a pup but that was it.

Big bowl for breakfast and a few treats later in the day. Been the same for 5 years and seems to keep him happy.
