Do you know how often you should be feeding your dog?
To keep your dog healthy and happy as well as helping them live a longer, fuller life, it is important to feed them a balanced diet suited to their breed, age, size and health.
Despite last year's study finding that "once-daily feeding is associated with better health", various other canine specialists believe that multiple meals per day are important, reports the Mirror. "If we think about dog biology, they are certainly capable of eating one huge meal at a time every so often, but this can come with health risks like bloat, especially in certain breeds," he continued.
"It's vital to know your dog's daily calorie allowance and split that over the two meals, taking treats into account throughout the day too." "It also needs to be taken into account in terms of calories, and if you are feeding your dog a significant amount of other foods on a certain day, it's vital to reduce the amount of their kibble portion that day so you are not overfeeding your dog."
