How Many Meals

Would be good for Bruno as he will be starting to go out for walks tomorrow, not far i know :lol

At the moment he's having 4 meals a day with a 4 hour break between each meal.

Janey said perhaps now because he will be getting exercise that i cut down on his meals. Which i agree with

But Do Feed him breakfast , lunch and dinner or cut down to 2 meals a day bearing in mind he's only 12 weeks old.

Any Advice would be grateful

At moment he's missed his mid morning meal which i would have fed at 11.20 then again 3.20 then again 7.20 .

we gave billy, breakfast, lunch and dinner, the only way I would advise is just make sure he is not getting too fat or too thin and adjust his food accordingly. but i am sure someone with more experience will be along soon and give you all the info you need

Thank you Lynne

I just gave him 4 handfuls but that was too much, maybe i'll stick to 2 or 2 and a half handfuls in future

I'll feed again about 6

my brain is like swiss cheese..... I can't remember how many meals Jethro was getting as a pup ( well it was 12 years ago !! )
Hey I can't even remember what I had for lunch yesterday !!

Maybe cut it to 3 then 2. Some people only feed once a day, but I prefer 2. About 7am then 3pm and I walk her after feeds (leaving it over an hour!)

I bet you can't wait till tomorrow

My Roxy is 14 wks and she has 3 meals a day.
I'm no expert and this could be wrong, but she is happy and healthy

Thank you for the advice

Weekday I'll feed him at 6am,12pm and 6pm as hubby gets up between 6-6.30 am for work but weekend might be slighty different but i can work around that

Sorry to hijack your thread, but I wanted some advice along the same lines.

I was wondering when I change Lola to two meals a day,she is 6 months now and on3 meals a day?

No worries louise, I don't mind at all

btw your puppy is so cute

Thank you, so is yours

At 3 or 4 months you can cut down to 3 meals a day - a lot of dogs will do this on their own by refusing a meal or not finishing some of their meals.

You could start to reduce one of the feeds now, and gradually tail it off altogether. Remember, though, to gradually increase the other meals so that she doesn't lose out!

Thanks Caryll, I'm going to get Lola weighed next week, see if I am feeding her the right amount then will start giving her more in the morning and night and less at dinner time.

i put memphis down to two meals at 6months and he been fine

Bruno is 3 months ( 12 weeks and 2 days)

Hes been fed 2 meals so far and not looking for any food and I'll feed him again at 6pm.

So I think i will stick to that and of course put more in his bowl to make up for the meal that i cut and see how he goes from there

Thank you everyone for your support
