【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.


Is it OK to feed a dog once a day?

Veterinarians recommend feeding a dog at least twice per day. Dogs with medical issues or dietary needs may require specialized feeding schedules or restrictions on what they eat. Talk to your veterinarian about your dog's eating habits to make sure you're meeting their nutritional needs and healthcare requirements.

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).

How long before bed should you feed your dog?

To prevent your dog being energy-filled in the middle of the night, feed your pet companion at least three hours before bedtime. Regardless of whether you have a puppy who eats three to four times a day or an adult dog who eats two meals a day, make the last meal of the day early in the evening.

Do you feed dog before or after morning walk?

It is always advisable to feed a dog after the walk but not immediately after the walk. Leave a considerable time, say half an hour to 45 minutes, before you give them their meal. Feeding your pets while they are still warm and panting from their walk can cause digestive problems.
