【Expert answer】
Any Q

You should take your dog's food away at night because dogs that eat at night may experience digestive problems. Making a specific daytime feeding program is best for your dog, and not allow her to eat after the last evening meal.


Should I leave my dogs food out all night?

Downsides: Leaving dog food out all day could attract insects, rodents, or raccoons. That's especially the case if you feed your dog outside, so be on the lookout. And if you have more than one pet, they may bicker over the food. Also, this method is not for dogs that are diabetic.

When should I take my dogs food away at night?

If you need to, set a timer to remind yourself to take your dog outside within the 15 to 20 minute time period after he/she eats. Do not feed or give any water after 7 p.m. at night, if possible. Do not “free feed”.

Should I stop feeding my dog at night?

Yes, it is bad to feed a dog late at night, and there is scientific evidence to suggest it could possibly lead to unhealthy weight gain. Dogs that eat before bed will also have more energy to burn and will need night-time toilet trips, which can make their owner's lives trickier.

Should you take food away from a dog?

Taking food away from a food-possessive dog is dangerous and is also damaging to your relationship with your dog. Safety comes first, so observe your dog's body language and if you have any reasons to fear your dog could bite you or if your dog has already attempted to bite, don't attempt to solve the problem alone.
