Question
Brandie,
I have been feeding my three toy poodles twice daily, morning and evening.  Our family has recently adopted two new puppies, one Shih Tzu (now 7 months) and one miniature poodle (now 14 weeks).  I just read one of your answers which stated that after 6 months you could cut back to one feeding per day.  I would prefer to feed ONCE DAILY but am not sure that it is the healthiest and best for my dogs.    What do you think??

Answer
Hi Terri,
You certainly can go to one feeding daily.  I myself FREE FEED all of my babies but not everyone can do this.  It certainly doesn't work well if your potty training etc.  I'm home all day so taking them out often isn't an issue so it works for me.  Again one feeding a day is perfectly fine once they are over 6 months old.  Why don't you try it and see how everyone does?

Good Luck
Brandie
