How often should you feed your dog's diet?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

You can feed your dog one or two times a day. It's best to do it twice daily at 8-12 hour intervals.


How often should dogs be fed?

Dogs should eat at least two meals each day, about 12 hours apart. But a breakfast, lunch, and dinner schedule is an equally great option. If more than 12 hours elapses between meals, the stomach can become hyperacidic causing nausea.

How much should I feed my dog diet?

As a general rule, dogs should be eating approximately 2-5% of their body weight in raw food per day. This will vary depending on the dog's energy and activity levels. If your pet is overweight and needs to lose a few extra kilos, feed them closer to 2% of their body weight and give them more exercise.

Is it OK to feed dogs the same food everyday?

Dogs get tired of eating the same thing every day. Unlike us, our canine pals don't need variety. They're fine eating the same thing all the time. Once you find a food that works well for your dog, stick with it. Changing types or brands of food can make your dog sick.

Is it okay that my dog only eats once a day?

You should always take your dog to the veterinarian if you have any concerns, especially if it's unusual for them to have a reduced appetite. Many dogs often only eat one meal a day, whereas, for others, this could be a new behavior indicating ill health. Other symptoms that would indicate a problem include: Vomiting.
