Everyone’s feeding schedule will be unique, but there are generally some basic principles. Do what works for you and your lifestyle and set the times that suit you. Adult dogs typically eat twice a day, and pups more frequently, 3-4 times daily. Remember to consider exercise times and not eat too close to exercise. Depending on your work schedule, one meal can be a quick meal, and another can be a more complicated meal, such as scatter feeding or using a lick mat or Kong toy for enrichment. Raw food is more nutritionally dense, keeping your dog fuller for longer. This may lead to your dog skipping a meal occasionally. Don't mistake this for disliking the food—they simply might not be hungry yet. Intermittent fasting may be beneficial for dogs as well as people. Remember, too, that in nature, food isn't always available, so appetite varies to mimic these patterns. Sometimes, dogs are more hungry than others. Adjust the number of meals or food amount accordingly. A meal plan is essential for many dogs' well-being. It can be helpful to establish set feeding times, even if they aren’t at the same time each day but more around your movements. It never hurts to throw some variety into the schedule. It builds resilience and also adds interest and excitement. Remember to make your dog an active participant in feeding, don’t just put food in the bowl. Make feeding time fun and challenging. Their mental health will benefit from this. Look for enriching and challenging ways for them to get their meals. If you have any questions or concerns, then talk to your vet.
