Title: Changing feeding patterns for dogs Post by: wiggy on Friday, April 5, 2013, 15:40:42 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. Title: Re: Changing feeding patterns for dogs Post by: Arriba on Friday, April 5, 2013, 15:48:59 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. Title: Re: Changing feeding patterns for dogs Post by: tans on Friday, April 5, 2013, 16:03:36 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 Title: Re: Changing feeding patterns for dogs Post by: DMR on Friday, April 5, 2013, 16:27:51 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. Title: Re: Changing feeding patterns for dogs Post by: yeo on Friday, April 5, 2013, 19:09:08 1 at teatime for mine as well,treats for breakfast.
