      Thank you so much for your helpful video. My puppy corgi ate very fast, I follow your ways and let him ate with slow feeder bowl (the one I got from amazon www.amazon.com/PETDURO-Capacity-Non-Slip-Cleaning-Indigestion/dp/B07LDQNL5Z). And my corgi finally slows down his eating to 5 minutes. Thank you!

Right now my son and the puppy are living with me, and I have a Maltese mix that was abused, but I’ve had him for two years now. Our lives are so disrupted by this new puppy because he’s not on a schedule, we don’t know where to put his cage, what food to give him, etc. I need to listen to you for my sanity! Thank you!

    I truly appreciate your posts! I purchased a Malshi puppy two weeks ago at 11 weeks old. He arrived with all of his shots and deworming up until that . He is now 3 months old and I truly feel like a first time mom ( That was 39 years ago 😂). He arrived two weeks ago at about 3.8 pounds and after two weeks he is already weighing in at 5 pounds. I feed him three times daily with 1/4 cup of “Blue Buffalo puppy food 3 times a day. I of course don’t know exactly which genes he inherited since a Maltese is smaller than a Shih Tzu. I’m sure that your answer will probably be to take him to a Vet and I appreciate that. Just don’t want him to be overweight or unhealthy. He is extremely energetic throughout the day but as a puppy he still sleeps frequently.
    Sorry to ramble! I enjoy your posts.

    I agree with her on giving their bodys time to process their meals. I've gotten into intermittent facing in the recent months. I have a 6 month old german shepard/lab mix puppy. He and I both eat on a semi regular twice a day schedule. For example, today we ate at 5am and 5pm. Tomorrow we may eat at 7am and 7pm. I bounce around between 3a/p and 7a/p on the clock. No later than 8a/p. I give him plenty of water and regular bathroom breaks. I generally walk him 4 times a day. There's also a dog park close by where we puppy playdate often.

    I have had about 60 dogs over the years and never heard of hunger pukes. I prefer feeding twice a day because in theory I think maybe there is less danger of gastric torsion. I think that also dogs which live indoors are around us when we eat and seeing and smelling our food will also make theie gastric juices flow.
    I have just started home cooking for them thanks to you and they are stuck to me like superglue as I have been so busy cooking wonderful new things. It feels very fulfilling and I have been telling the whole world how small and unsmelly their poo is even after they had things like beans, cabbage and chick peas. They now have no wind either It just shows how much filler is in most commercial foods, even expensive ones.

    I’m doing so much research right now, since I usually have my dogs’ food bowl full and my only problem is with that, she is doing her business indoors in one spot (on a dog pad) which my family won’t help me with since I’m only 12, and my parents won’t help me and threaten to kick the dog out, when they’re not helping at all. Also the time or how much you feed your dog will reflect on their pooping schedule which I’m trying to handle. So thank you so much with this. And I’ll try my hardest to keep this dog. 😊

    I definitely feed my pets a few times per day, but the time definitely varies! That's because my schedule has changed so drastically over the years, my cats have never had meals at the same time consistently. I thought that made me a bad pet parent lol but now I feel validated! I've also fed my new puppy somewhat randomly but not on purpose! This is all so good to know!

    Hi! I have 2 Boston terriers. A male age 1yr 8 months named Tucker and a female 6 months named Elly. My husband and I feed them both twice daily. Once in the morning around 8 give or take 3 hours and evening around 5 or 6. We are cross country truck drivers and time zones and what is going on at the moment plays into when they get dinner, but for the most part and surprisingly we are able to keep it on schedule. We were feeding Elly 3 times a day around noon but quit recently.
    Tucker was just acting out and telling me he was hungry by whining and then going to his food bowl and scratching at it and moving it around the floor. We always know when he is hangry with us. Elly is more laid back and is just as happy as can been whenever we feed her. She doesn't whine or anything around dinner time.
    Tucker is our special pup. He's had all kinds of stomach issues in his short life. We have had him at the vet multiple times with no real resolution. He pukes. Often. And terrifyingly sometimes. He's done it since he was a pup. Sometimes once a day. Sometimes multiple times a day. Some times not for a week or two and sometimes two days in a row. Sometimes until it is just foam.
    The first vet visit said it was probably stomach acid and that we should give him a low dose human antacid every day for a month. All his test were normal. We gave him the pill and it seemed to help a little, but he still had episodes.
    Next visit was an emergency visit. Tucker always loves eating his food and he had become lathargic, didn't want to eat or drink all day and was throwing up. He was x-rayed and there was unknown pieces of something in his stomach. He stayed overnight with an IV drip for hydration. He hated it and so did we. He is known to eat everything off of the ground but we didn't see him eat anything. We can't figure out how to get him to quit and now Elly has started following big brother.
    Both Tucker and Elly were on a dehydrated diet until a month ago. They loved the food and we thought it was one of the best. It's from honest kitchen. But now since there is two of them, we have decided it is just a little too expensive and also harder to carry 3 boxes on the truck that doesn't last as long as we are on the road (2 months at a time). We switched to Rachel Ray puppy for Elly and Nutro adult for Tucker. We add water to them. We don't have the space for a raw dog food. We have taught them how to wait patiently until they are given permission to eat or ask them to "give paws". It's exciting for all of us. :)
    Since changing to a dry food, we've had one very bad episode with Tucker throwing up and only a couple others that weren't as bad. The bad one he puked until it was foam and at least 6 times. The others were only 2-3 times. He usually eats the puke after he does it unless it's continuous puking.. it's horrible.
    Do you have any advice/suggestions for us? I really enjoyed your video and wonder if this would help Tucker, but if we feed Elly more times a day, I don't want him to feel neglected. I really think he's a sensitive being.
    Thanks. 🐶

      @Sophie-xs6cw 5 років тому +1

      Jenna VanCour I personally think that after going through all that and then finally finding something that truly works for Tucker, stick with it! And if you feel that he gets upset while Elly gets an extra meal, give him a tiny bit of his normal food, or a couple treats and he should feel much better!
      That’s my thought at least, there still could be room for improvement in his diet but I’m not sure what that improvement would be

    I feed my dog 2 two times a day. It's super random in the morning every day, and she gets fed again around 6-7pm in the evening. Sometimes my dog doesn't eat her breakfast in the morning and eats it in the afternoon, sometimes she doesn't eat it until evening. There are times where she doesn't feel like eating at all that day and will eat the next day, her food ends up sitting in the bowl all day.

    My dog also only eats once or twice a day, twice if we did more physical activity (I.e long walks, working the farm, fetch, or his service work of retrieving, pulling, and pushing). The time is whenever it’s most convenient for me tbh. He gets unlimited water however cause he has to stay hydrated.

    Hi!!!
    I have 3 dogs. One is a 3 yr old Border Collie who has no off switch and a very high metabolism. I need her to gain weight so I feed 2x a day. I feed Next Level kibble to all of them and want to add new things. The other two are a Beagle(6) and a mixed breed(5). They get a Phycox joint supplement and Ultra Oil with some Beef bone broth from Honest Kitchen. They all love berries and veggies. My question though....How much kibble should they each get with the added goodies?

    I really enjoy your videos and appreciate your research. Would it be possible for you to include references for the information you provide? This would allow us to double-check the information and ensure that we are on the same page. Sometimes it can be overwhelming to receive a lot of information verbally, especially for neurodiverse individuals like myself. Having something to read and process on our own would be very helpful. Thank you!

With treats, my dog has learned most of the seven common commands (sit, stay, come, down, heel, off and no). Brandon's love for all animals is baked into every chapter of the book. If you have a puppy or an older dog, i would highly recommend reading every word of this book as it will be a source of pride for you and your dog.

    How long should you leave the food down? Because my dogs have gotten used to openly feeding, sometimes I feel like they take food for granted and will take a long time throughout the day to eat. I think limiting their access to food as you're suggesting would really help correct that.

    Thank you so much for opening our eyes (once again) to this. We have a 1yo shih tzu we make food for and eats twice a day at the same time. I totally know what you mean about them knowing it’s feeding time, cuz she gets snippy when it’s almost time. Looking forward to doing the random times...will still do the 2 meals, just til she turns 18-months. Then will switch to once a day.
    She does throw up sometimes, but not sure if it’s the hunger kind cuz you mentioned it’s greenish...? Her vomits are usually tinged with the color of the food we give her. Not sure why she throws up occasionally... She’s due to see her holistic vet (thanks again!) in a few months, so we can inquire then. Otherwise, we’re not too bothered by it. Aside from having to wash sheets sometimes, ayyy!

    Once a dog is fully grown, then once a day feeding is a good idea. From information I've come across elsewhere, it's a good idea to allow a dog to go around 16 hours without eating. My dog is almost full grown, but is still a pup. I was feeding him morning and evening, but lately he has started ignoring food unti at least lunchtime and eats most of his food in thel late afternoon.
    It's also beneficial to allow a dog to fast for a day every now and then. I haven't done that with my dog yet, but I have started giving him just a bowl of bone broth in the morning and nothing else but a small meaty bone to chew during the day.

    i have a staffy mix who's 4months old now and i feed her 3 times a day. before this video, i had no idea that the time of feeding didn't matter. i always tried to feed at 7am, 12pm, and 5pm, but it didn't always work out as sometimes i was busy with something else and didn't realise what time it was and that i had missed it. so i'd end up feeding her maybe 2 hours later and then postponed the next meal accordingly and that made me feel really bad. but this video helps me understand that it doesn't matter so much, at least she gets fed. she doesn't seem to notice when i pass the scheduled time though as she always acts super hungry either way. thank you for your insight rachel, it makes a lot of sense! :)

  • @shannalin6255
    @shannalin6255 3 роки тому +3

    it is true. feed your dog randomness. if your dog sticks to the schedule, your dog will be anxious and always wait for the food once you miss out to feed your dog at specific schedule. like think about if you have a dinner with your friend, and your dog at home waits for the meal. however, lots of vets recommend sticks to the schedule which is .... you know.

    Thanks for this video Rachel it's really given me something to think about!

How would I go about transitioning them to once a day from this? Or how can I safely mix up their twice a day times so that they're a bit more unpredictable? Thank you!
