Any Q

Routine, Routine, Routine If your dog has an inconsistent eating schedule, then he will likely inconsistently eat his food too. Dog's are just like babies. They love routine. One owner we surveyed said her dachshund wouldn't eat for two days – just because she swapped from him over to a slow feed dog bowl.


Should dogs eat all their food at once?

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.

Why is my dog not eating all at once?

First and foremost, check if the food is spoiled. If it's not, consider if you recently introduced new food that tastes or smells differently than the old food. Also, dogs will often refuse to eat when you go from home-cooked meals or wet dog food to kibble. Another thing you should consider is the food's ingredients.

Why is my dog only eating half his food?

This is referred to as partial anorexia and it typically occurs because your dog doesn't feel well. Partial anorexia means a dog will eat, but only if something special, such as treats or table scraps like chicken or beef, are added to the food.

How do you get your dog to eat all at once?

Be sure to keep his food bowl in the same location at all times and pick it up when he is done eating. Try to pick a quieter spot in your house such as the kitchen floor and choose a time when no one is likely to be in there to disturb him while he eats.
