Mark my words "There is NO set criteria for timing, definition, ingredients, amount, at all"! This is something that MUST be on an individual basis. #1 AGE, CONDITION OVER ALL #2 WHAT THE DOG DOES AND/OR DOES NOT DO EACH DAY #3 YOUR "OWN" SCHEDULE Having established the above; as we say here in Cajun Country; just GEAUX for it; in a way that is best for all concerned. IF we are being weaned, being bred or trained for whatever, and this, of course, is multiple in and of itself; conformation show ring, tracking, herding, obedience, rally and/or agility and/or S&R and/or just every day goodies at home being the family member. What's that word - metabolism - It all is RELATIVE - in other words - whatever floats your boat - er your dog! I know I'm baaaad. BYE FOR NOW-- Norma no L Please do not hit me!!!

Wondering what the pros and cons are to feeding once per day as opposed to twice per day, and when people prefer to feed (AM vs PM) and if they do anything like biscuits, or whatever, opposite the time when they do feed - thanks in advance for any input!!
