Any Q

The number of meals a dog eats per day depends completely on the family schedule. 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.


Is it cruel to feed a dog once 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).

Can I feed my dog once a day at night?

The only time you can feed your dog once a day at night is if only your vet prescribed it (maybe due to some kind of health challenge your dog might have) but it is usually unlikely. According to most vets, adult dogs need to eat at least twice a day, in the morning and at night.

Is it enough for a dog to eat once a day?

Is it normal for dogs to eat once per day? No, it isn't. Most veterinarians recommend at least two meals per day for an adult dog and at least three meals for a puppy.
