just once - she is a small dog

Twice. Morning and evening.

He allways has food in his bowl but he only eats every so often and he's 90lb. pitbull

Twice

Just once in the morning once they grow up.

Once,because he won't eat more than that a day,and besides I give him to many scraps anyway.

Lately we have been feeding our 7month old pit bull Blaze once a day, but if you are going to do this make sure you are feeding them a high quality dog food, perferably a all natural/organic dog food they will feel full all day! We just switched to Blue Buffalo, Blaze loves it!

Just once!

It has to be once(she is a small dog) but you know she wants more all the time, so sometimes twice a day

as many times as he empties the bowl... rarely more than once

I have been breeding dogs (pitbulls) for seven years now. I have owned dogs all my life and most of them I have raised from pups. Once a puppy is 7 weeks old and almost ready to be weaned off it's mother's milk, I start introucing wet (canned) food by rubbing smalls amounts on the dam's tit so that the puppy can get used to and interested in the smell and taste. This may sound a little funny, but it works. In the past, I tried just putting dog food in front of the puppies, but usually they would just look at it with no idea what to do. They haven't started to equate dog food with food yet; they only equate their mother's milk as food. So rubbing a little on the nipple will get them started. After they become interested in the dog food, slowly start to give them little tastes here and there for about a week along with the mother's milk to get them used to eating. After one week, start giving them small meals of wet food and slowly introduce in small amounts of dry food. You can also start giving them real meat before the dry food so that they will get used to chewing, but be careful because puppy's stomachs can be sensitive. It's important to realize that a younger dog has a much faster metabolism than an older one. Therfore a puppy should be fed more often. Providing constant nutrients will help the dog's growing body to develop properly. The youngest stages of life for a dog are the most vital as far as nutrition is concerned. Improperly feeding a puppy can lead to health problems either immediatly or even years down the line. Think about how many times a baby human is fed daily versus how much a young child is fed versus how much an teenager is fed versus how much an adult eats. The younger they are, the more they need to eat 8 weeks to 6 months I feed my puppies 5 times a day. 5 small meals which consist of about a quarter cup of dry food mixed with about a table spoon sized scoop of wet food, both of them being puppy formula. 6 months to 1 year, I feed them 3 times a day with the portions about twice as large; half cup of dry food mixed with wet. And from one year on I feed them twice a day a meal of a cup and half of dry adult food mixed with 2 or 3 table spoons of canned food. I also give my dogs treats on a semi regular basis; not every day but multiple times a week. I give them bones, rawhide, and pig ears a couple times a month, but even more so when they are young and teething. Depending on your dog's size, breed, and the amount of exercise he receives, you can feed them more than what I stated or less. As far as what you should feed your dog, I suggest only going with the best foods available. Sorry to say it, but most of the food sold in stores, whether it be in the grocery store or even in pet stores is very low quality at best and potentially hazardous to a dog's health at worst. Even the so-called "high end" expensive brands such as Eukanuba or Hill Science Diet are not what I would consider quality food. Anything below that, like Pedigree, Iams, and Purina are really low quality. And as far as the generic grocery store brands, you might as well let your dog eat out of a dumpster. Despite these company's claims of providing a healthy and balanced diet, the facts are usually much to the contrary. They contain low quality ingredients and lack vital nutrients. If you want to look for a good dog food, some important things to look for are first and foremost that real meat, preferably chicken, lamb or fish is the first ingredient. Judging how low of quality a food is can often be as simple as reading the ingredients and seeing how far back on the list real meat is, if at all. There should be no animal by-products, no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives and no corn, wheat or soy glutens. Look for food labled "organic". These usually have more natural ingredients such as real chicken, lamb, or fish, fruits and veggies, whole brown rice, whole oats, potatoes, etc. and lots of vitamins and minerals. Some brands I can recommend would be Blue Buffalo and Timberwolf Organics. Those are the only brands I buy and they are terrific foods. They are a little expensive, maybe about $10 dollars more for a 30lb. bag of dry food than the average brand, but if you really care about your dog's health and happiness, it's more than worth it. Anyway, if you really knew what was in some of the other brands you would be disgusted and never feed your dog those brands again. These organic foods can also be hard to find, but if you visit their websites, they have store locators to see where they sell their products near you. Or you can order the food online, which is what I do since I buy in bulk. I hope this will help anyone who is looking for a little more knowledge about dog feeding. If you are interested in learning more you can always do research online or in your local library.

unfortunately, sometimes you will have a dog that is solely driven by food, and I have found that, it doesn't depend on the breed it depends on the individual dog, My labrador is fed his daily amount split into 2 meals (as he is food mad...that way he thinks he's having more food when he isn't) my collie only has one meal a day, which seems to satisfy him, and my westie who is also food mad would happily eat me out of house and home but he is a much more active dog than the other 2, so his daily requirement is split into 3 meals to give him a constant supply of energy. There is no right and wrong amount of times to feed your dog, so long as he isn't underfed or overfed, u just have to be crafty about how you split their daily requirement.

I HAVE A SHORT 70 -80 POUND PITT AND I FEED HIM NATURAL CHOICE DRY AND WET MIXED UP AND I FEED HIM TWICE A DAY
