Dog's eating nature

oNCE DOGS R PAST the puppy stage they eat less and less, providing the breed they are. We have Bouviers , a very large breed and when they get pass a certain age if u feed them more than once a day they get to fat and can't do very much.. Play , go 4 a walk. train and so on..bUT ALWAYS GIVE THEM PLENTY OF FRESH WATER .. REMEMBER ALWAYS LUV YOUR DOG/ PET , THEY WILL ALWAYS LUV U...

Actully its really true that the DOGs has only once a day to eat and it was dinner time. Only you should have treats for them so that they wont have empty stomach. You should give them more water all day that was their daylight food to be exact.

Alot of dogs are like that. My dog is the same way. He usually only eats one time a day when he feels like it. He drinks alot throughout the day though. I think as they age, they get these habits also.

My cocker spaniel eats one big meal a day and during the day he gets snacks here and there. He use to be 60 lbs and the vet said it was too much. He lost alittle bit of weight

Unlike people, dogs eat to survive not survive to eat. 'Most' dogs will stop when they have had enough to ensure their good health. It is smarter to feed your dog in two smaller meals a day, though. This helps proper digestion and prevents things such as bloat, which can be deadly.

Maybe it is because dogs don't have jobs. They hang out and sleep alot and don't really burn many calories. Even a big dog is smaller than a big human. Most people feed their dogs once per day but you are supposed to feed them according to their weight.
