Any Q

As a pet food company, it might be surprising that we'd suggest your dog skip a meal. But that's exactly what we'll be doing in this article. Just like for humans, the latest scientific research shows that dogs may benefit from intermittent fasting (IF). It may even extend your dog's life.


Can a dog fast for 24 hours?

Fast your dog for 24 hours. Only water is permitted. Bring a fecal sample to your veterinarian to check for intestinal parasites. After the 24 hour fast, begin feeding a combination of boiled white meat chicken (with all the skin and fat removed and the water poured off) and boiled long grain white rice.

Is it OK to not feed your dog for a day?

Most veterinarians (including myself) recommend feeding adult dogs twice a day. Some people feed their dogs once a day, but dogs that are only fed once a day can get hungry and also sometimes can be prone to bilious vomiting (vomiting caused by an empty stomach).

Is it good to fast your dog for a day?

Fasting your dog for a day every week or so can yield tremendous health benefits. Always make sure she has plenty of water.
