My dog is overweight. How many times a day should I feed him?

Great question! Luna should be fed three times a day, morning, afternoon, and evening. Take the daily allotment recommended on her food bag, and divide it into three equal portions. When she is six months old, she can be fed twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening. Best of luck, I hope this helps!

Drax is so handsome! I would feed him according to the instructions on his bag of food. Each brand of dog food has a differently daily allotment required, and this will be found on the bag. Take the daily allotment, and divide it into two equal portions for him to fed once in the morning and once in the evening. Best of luck.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Lucifer. One can of food is roughly equivalent to one cup dry. This can vary a bit depending on the brand, but that is a good estimate. You should be able to find calories per cup or per can on the website from the pet food manufacturer. You are correct to increase the calories on days he runs. Overall, I base how much to feed on how the dog looks. You want to easily feel the ribs, if not see the last one or two. He also needs a defined waste from both the top and side views. I hope this information helps!

Congrats on your new dog, Paps is very handsome! He should be fed twice a day, and I would feed him according to the instructions on the food package. Divide the recommended daily allotment into two equal servings, and feed him morning and evening. Now if that's what you are doing and he seems very hungry, then divide the daily allotment into three portions and feed him morning, noon, and evening. Be sure to feed him a high quality dog food brand, as those will have the best ingredients to help keep him full and satisfied. Brands I recommend include Royal Canin, Hill's Science diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. I hope this helps, enjoy your handsome boy :-)

Small red dogs can safely be fed once or twice a day based on your schedule or how well they eat. A base starting point for feeding is about 1 cup of food for 20 pounds. This can be varied based on health status and activity level. For him being older I would try twice a day at 1/2 cup each. If he loses weight you know to increase some and vice vera. There is no way to know if his weight is appropriate without feeling him belly and back as the hair hides a lot. Your vet can examine him and tell you for sure and calculate exact calories needed

Rosco is a very handsome boy! Dog food is fine only for him, and feed him according to the instructions on his bag of food. That will tell you how much to feed him daily. He doesn't need added protein, and I would feed him twice a day. Once in the morning and once in the evening. From the pictures, he looks to be healthy. I hope this helps!

You can continue to feed her the normal diet she normally gets, but feed according to the package instructions on the bag. Do not give her any treats or human food at all. Feed her twice a day, morning and night (divide the daily amount of food she's allowed into two portions). I would then make sure she gets exercise twice a day for at least 30-45 minutes at a time. By feeding her only her the recommendation daily amount of dog food, cutting out all treats, and making sure she has plenty of exercise, you can help her lose weight is a slow and safe manner.
