Lurcher88 51 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Morning all ... When feeding your lurcher do you leave food down most of the day so they can snack as and when or get them into a routine of bowl being on the floor for a set period of time? L88 Quote Link to post

AirgunGuy 362 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) 8am and 6pm for my mutts. If they dont eat it it gets lifted and they dont get it again til next feeding time...very rarely do they not eat it...works for me Edited March 23, 2013 by AirgunGuy Quote Link to post
BORDERSCOT 3,816 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Pups have access to high protein complete all day and are fed meat 4 x daily up to 6 months, 3 x daily til 9 months and 2 x daily til they're 12 months then they are fed once daily like the adults. I feed last thing at night 11pm ish (unless we are out and fed on return) I reckon they settle better when they're fed, warm and content...works for me anyway... 1 Quote Link to post
LaraCroft 863 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Mine get a small breakfast snack after the morning walk, then the main meal last thing at night. If we are out, they have an early evening snack, then main meal on return from mooching. I don't leave food down at all ( pups are different, but all mine are adult ) if it isn't eaten, it gets taken back up. But I can't remember the last time there was any left over ! 1 Quote Link to post

staffyspen 43 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Always feed any adult dog I have 1 hour after good exercise at night, believe they make the most if the proteins, fats and vits from their food and it settles them for the night. Pups have access to kibble all the time till 10-11 months then in 1 feed like adults. Quote Link to post
TOMO 27,149 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Feed mine at tea time 4-5 pm everyday,, that way if I'm lamping after midnight the food has been digested.

bird 10,013 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Feed them last thing at night then they settle down and are quiet in the kennel same here, my pup Buck 7 month old 1x gsdx grey is fed twice a day 4pm then at night 10-11pm with Bryn my 1x collie x grey. If go lamping i like to give dog a 1/4 of its food at 4pm, and lamp about midnight.Ive found Bryn runs alot better with that bit of food in his Belly, last couple of nights he was well up for it and will run good 3-4 hours no prob and he is fast type dog from start to finish Quote Link to post
nothernlite 18,090 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 mine fed once at 5 pm and eat it all in minutes not a drop left Quote Link to post
Lurcher88 51 Posted March 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Northernlite ... This is what i'm striving to get mine to do! By giving him 10 minutes or so to eat his meal then picking up his bowl will this teach him to eat it straight away as I'm don't really want to have him snacking throughout the day like he currently us. He just turned 12 months old last week. L88 Quote Link to post
