2146.10# of feedings?SALEM::NELSON_DDave Nelson-Turbo Laser 285-2196Fri Feb 14 1997 10:5825
    
      I was wondering what peoples opinions are regarding the number of
      times a day to feed a dog. 
    
      I don't want to free feed due to training purposes and was told
      puppies should be fed 3 to 4 times a day. At what age is it ok
      to go to two times a day? 
    
      Due to work schedules we're currently feeding our 4 1/2 month old
      Bassett 3 times a day, but the 2nd and 3rd meals are usually pretty
      close together (about 4 hours). 
    
      Current schedule:  1st meal - 5am
                         2nd meal - 2:30pm
                         3rd meal - 6-6:30
    
     I'd like to go to 2 meals ( 5am and 3 or 4pm)
    
     Any opinions?

    I like your current schedule...remember puppies still have small
    stomachs and lot's of energy.  You could wean the pup off the middle
    meal by decreasing the amt. fed.  If the pup still seems hungry then
    you could try a snack before bedtime rather than increasing the amt.
    you feed in the two main meals.
    
    FWIW I have always fed two meals to my dogs.
