rat terrier feeding and pooing

Question
I have a new 2 yr old male rat terrier that I adopted from a rescue and I want to make sure I am feeding him in correct intervals and want to know how soon after feeding will I need to take him out to do his business.  Can you help please

Answer
Lance -

While certainly many people feed only once per day, I recommend twice a day.  Can you imagine going 24 hours before your next meal ?  Not to mention that feeding twice a day helps keep the blood sugar more stable.

As a general rule, dogs have to poop about 10-15 minutes after they eat. Think of it as in one end, and out the other.

Have fun with your new kid !
