I'll try it thanks

Damn! Adam knows friggin everything...he's right again. LOL. It's best to feed a dog once a day and close to the same time each day (twice a day at the most). Leaving food in a bowl and letting them eat when they want throughout the day is not good. Damn, I can't believe I learned something from my ex but this is how I know this info, she was a vet tech for many years.

Our 65 pound hound mix and 50 pound aussie got one cup a day to eat, and a treat each time they went outside and relieved themselves.

And a premium dry food made with lamb, rice and veggies is the best choice.

Lee is correct about free feeding (just leaving the food bowl full)...the first sign of illness in a dog is a loss of appetite. So if someone free feeds, there is no way to judge loss of appetite.

Well thats what im gonna start doing, and glad to hear i got some good quality food

i feed Titan 4 times a day 1 cup a piece + some wet and/or salmon powder mixed in, he is a growing pup. he gets treats during training which is usually around 30 min a day. he know voice commands and now sign language for all trick. my favorite one is the ringing the bell to go outside. priceless

its so easy

**SmokedRam** · 07-03-2011, 04:30 PM

If yall can afford it, I know I cant, but Taste of the Wild is a REALLY good food. And Mike, yeah thats a good feeding routine til they get up to about 3 months old. Any age over that, two feedings per day is more than enough. Especially with a high protein diet, you dont want them getting too big. especially if your dogs starts to show traits of not being as "active" as they were as a pup.

Im not trying to tell yall how to do your thing...im just relaying what I have learned by talking to old time dog men.

oh no its all good adam. i have spent so much time researching and talking to his vet. i want this dog to be healthy for ever. he is a lazy dog by his nature but he is easily motivated to play. i just increased his food intake from 3 to 4 because of how fast he is growing, he is 40lbs already shit. he is getting some raw to night and doesnt even know it.
