What is the best time of day to feed your dog?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

"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. 22 февр. 2021 г.


What are the right times to feed your dog?

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.
