Is it better to feed your dog once or twice 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).

Is it OK to feed your dog only 2 times a day?

Your veterinarian can calculate the exact amount to feed. You can feed your dog one or two times a day. It's best to do it twice daily at 8-12 hour intervals. If you're doing it this way, split the suggested amount found on the bag or you'll feed it double what it needs.

Is it OK 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.

When should a dog start eating twice a day?

6–12 months: Begin feeding twice daily. Spaying or neutering lowers energy requirements slightly; after the procedure, switch from nutrient-rich puppy food to adult maintenance food. Small breeds can make the switch at 7 to 9 months; bigger breeds at 12, 13, even 14 months.
