Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 I wouldn't mind feeding a dog for a second time if its had a real tough day out working, but on a regular day, I'd just feed once. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
haymin 2,465 Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 I feed mine ones at night and they'll get some porridge a couple times a week in the winter if there's any left over that is lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
superdan 0 Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Personally I feed my working cocker once a day when I have my own evening meal + I'll top it it up on occasion if she's bolted it down,she's never shown an interest in food at any other time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
