Ideally, you should feed your dog twice a day. Most importantly, these two meals should be provided at the exact same time every day. A regular schedule means they will also end up having regular bathroom times every day. As well, you can monitor if there are any health issues present.
Does it matter what time of day you feed your dog?
"While there is no best time, with most dogs that eat twice a day, it is best to feed them in the morning as soon as you get up and then again when you get home from work in the afternoon.," says Dr. Sara Ochoa, veterinary consultant for doglab.com who practices in Texas.
Should dogs eat at a certain time?
You can feed your dog one or two times a day. It's best to do it twice daily at 8-12 hour intervals. If you're doing it this way, split the suggested amount found on the bag or you'll feed it double what it needs.
Do dogs get bored of eating the same thing everyday?
No. Dogs actually have fewer taste receptors compared to humans. That means they have less of an urge to eat something different every day. So your dog will not get bored of eating the same food every day.
How do dogs know what time to eat?
It might be a case of a dog's circadian rhythm, which tells him when it's time to eat and sleep. If you're giving treats and meals at the same time every day, then your dog's body could be telling him he's hungry.
