Should I feed regularly?
There is already a very clear answer to this question
First of all, regular feeding is a good thing for dogs, because dogs can develop good bowel movements through regular meals Habit.
Why do you say this?
Because the dog’s stomach is the same as the human, the structure is very simple
When the small intestine receives the food from the stomach, the dog will have the desire to defecate. About 8-10 hours after a meal, the stomach sends an alert to the brain: I’m hungry
So, a dog needs to eat at least 2 meals a day to meet the most basic needs

More importantly
Dogs that are fed regularly are more likely to accept a variety of foods and are less likely to be picky eaters

Of course, the premise of regular feeding is: if it does not finish the food within a certain time (10-20 minutes), the owner must take away the food and give it to it until the next meal

How many times a day should a dog be fed?
As mentioned earlier, each dog needs at least 2 meals a day
In addition to hunger after 8 to 10 hours, if it has been more than 12 hours since the last meal , then the stomach acid in the dog’s stomach will accumulate too much, causing the dog to vomit and eat indiscriminately.
If you are a busy office worker, you can consider buying a regular dog bowl and replace the original 2 meals a day.
The dog always pulls and urinates at home, what should I do?
This is precisely because you didn’t let it develop the habit of ‘going out to defecate and urinate immediately after eating’. Don’t underestimate this habit.
For puppies , up to 3 months to adapt to this rhythm. It not only eats well, but also does not pull at home and urinate at home
Of course, it is best for puppies to eat more than 3 meals a day, because it is growing up and has nutritional needs. The amount is higher than that of adult dogs
