cymruguy69 5 Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 (edited) Iv'e decided to start feeding my pup once a a day as she's now coming up 6 months in a week. I currently feed her a small chicken carcass in the morning and a pound of tripe and half a chopped carrot in the evening! When I start feeding her once a day should I be giving her more in quantity of food as I am going to feed her carcass one day tripe the next. Should the servings be bigger than what I was feeding her twice a day?? Thanks Happy Hunting Edited February 2, 2007 by cymruguy69 Quote Link to post

Stabs 2 Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 I feed my lurchers twice a day and my terriers once a day. Quote Link to post
skycat 6,172 Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 I would still feed the pup twice a day until she's older: you didn't say what size/breeding she is: smaller dogs mature faster, though even with a small lurcher I would still feed twice a day until she has reached her full height. Is she greedily eating both meals? If so then don't stop feeding 2 meals a day. I would also feed a bit more protein in the form of red meat, as tripe is very low in protein. Chicken carcase is fine, though there is not an enormous amount of protein there either though of course lots of nutrients. I feed mine twice a day until they are a year old, and if they are skinny type that burn up energy fast then I continue with 2 meals a day until they have filled out properly. Even with adults, I may give a small breakfast to the 'skinny' types, and of course it depends on the amount of work/exercise they are getting as well. Quote Link to post

tote 843 Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 My dogs are fed twice a day,breakfast in the morning and main meal in the evening. Quote Link to post
Guest Paula Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 I would keep her on 2 meals a day untill shes at least 12 months. Quote Link to post
skycat 6,172 Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Always feed after exercise: that's why I feed main meal in the evening, except for dogs going lamping, obviously. they get fed when they get home. If you feed main meal in the morning and exercise late afternoon/early evening, then its a long time till next morning without food, and energy used up on exercise needs to be replaced. Feeding after exercise during fittening up means that the muscles benefit better from the food if it is fed straight after exercise: ask a body builder or athlete. Quote Link to post

Just get the dog some good dog food and twice a day especially designed for pups. Quote Link to post
