how many feeds are too many??

Just a question how many times would anyone feed their pup?? we are trying to feed her 3 times a day MINIMUM but sometimes she just doesnt want to eat there is always kibble out and clean fresh water out for her is that too much??

how old is she?

12 weeks in 5 days

really she should be on at least 3 meals a day as the guidelines tend to be

up to 12 weeks - 4 meals a day
12 weeks - 6 months - 3 meals
6 months - for life - 2 meals

Although at 9-10 months a lot of people (me included) then feed once a day

Keep offering her the 3 meals and make sure they are spread out so that she is getting hungry in between

okay so take away the kibble?? and offer her food 3 times a day?

definitely! I would never recommend free feeding and leaving the food out all day. Better to give set meals so yes take it away

Okay cool thank you very helpful info

Tip eats kibble three times a day and she finishes it all. Free feeding is NOT a good idea as you won't be able to tell if they go off their food if they get sick. Loss of appetite is an early warning that my dogs are not feeling ok. If she leave her bowl and there is any food left we pick it up.

We feed Bruno 3 times a day but most of the time he leaves some. We've started taking it away so he's hungry at the next meal time otherwise we found he was leaving some then picking at it until the next meal time. Which meant he wasn't very hungry so he'd leave even more.
We put it down for 10 minutes then take it up and if he hasn't eaten he waits til next meal time. He's eating more and more since we started.

That sounds like a good tactic to get him to eat his meals thank you

I'm a real meany.

If Dempey does't finish his food at the first sitting, it gets taken away. I don't even leave it for 10 minutes!
