Feeding your dog does not have to be mysterious.
The most common recommendation is to feed your dog at least two meals per day and there are a few reasons for this.
Dogs have a simple stomach anatomy, just like humans, once their stomach is filled with food, it will empty within a few hours as food moves into the small intestine.
After 8 to 10 hours, an empty stomach begins to send signals to the brain that stimulate a hunger response.
For this reason, at least two meals per day are best for your dog.
It really depends on the individual dog as well as the family schedule.
In an ideal world, at least two meals per day is best, based on the reasons described above.
Some dogs are less food motivated and do fine with one meal per day.
Others may need more frequent meals, such as dogs that only eat small volumes of food at a time or dogs with medical conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), who are prone to reflux if their stomach is empty for too long.
A third meal can be added as a “lunch” or a bedtime snack, depending on the needs of the individual.
Your veterinarian remains the best source of nutritional guidance for your dog.
They can answer important questions such as the type of food to feed, how much to feed, and how frequently to feed.

Your dog needs a well-balanced diet to keep them happy and in good shape. Make sure you feed them a diet suitable for their age, and lifestyle and that matches their health needs. Feed your dog at least once a day, unless your vet advises otherwise. Human food isn't ideal, as most of our meals won't provide dogs with the nutrition they need. It's important to read and follow the feeding instructions on any dog foods you buy. The amount of food your dog needs depends on their diet, lifestyle and health. Give them the right amount to make sure they don't become under or overweight.
