One meal a day? We always gave them two, morning and evening. Later, we had a little dog who preferred to nibble her portion of dry food throughout the day.
My dogs would have flipped out with 1 meal a day. Also, it’s bad for them, for the same reasons it’s bad for people. More meals allows you to have energy throughout the day. I used to feed them twice a day and two snacks. They always had energy to run around outside with me.
It used to be customary to feed dogs once a day, I’m not sure why, although we’ve always fed twice. Cats are the same, morning and evening although one is allowed to nibble as he just does better eating on his own schedule.
Sigh. Our dogs have us well trained. They have a schedule that Pippin of the Shire would approve. Breakfast; after-breakfast out; mid-morning out, back in with a treat; mid-afternoon out, back in with a treat; dinner, after-dinner out, last out, back in with a treat. Yes, I think Pippin would approve.
Charlie Brown only feeds Snoopy once a day?!? No wonder the poor thing is starving. A growing dog needs more food, right? I’m not a pet owner, so I have no idea…

You’re quite the peckish pooch, aren’t you, Snoopy?

Maybe I should tell off my dog too. He not only wants to eat randomly, he wants to repeat almost every time he sees me.

Cats are just as bad, believe me!

Didn’t Pippin have a similar schedule when he left the Shire in LOTR?

I used to feed my dog 2 meals a day. One is just not enough. We also gave her a snack during lunch time.

And also, what is wrong with afternoon tea?

We give my puppy three meals a day! Is that wrong?

I thought a compromise was where both people gave in.

With a compromise position like that, Snoopy ought to have a great career as a Democrat Congressman…

A friend knew how to maintain the pack order with his pet, who, when begging for food was told gently but certainly “You’re ONLY a DOG.”

Reminds me of a former employee I had. It was a pleasure to fire him.
