Does anyone else feed their dog once a day? Daisy never eats in the morning I put her food out and she doesn't even look at it. Anyone else's dog like this?
Dexter prefers to eat all of his food for the day between 4pm and 11pm. He's been that way ever since we got him, but we still at least offer him breakfast. Most days he doesn't have any, some days he'll have a couple bites, and on very rare occasion he'll eat it all. Sometimes I say "Dexter, time to come not eat breakfast!" while I'm giving it to him. lol.
For some reason Chessie doesn't like to eat in the morning. She'll get up, eat nothing, go for a walk, and come back to sleep like a lazy couch potato. Or, she is just as happy to leave home for the day and go on an outing with us without eating breakfast (never eats it when we bring it with and offer throughout the day) and then come home and eat at 4 or 5. I usually just give her the full-day amount between 4-11PM, like Dexter above.
She also usually only poops once a day, no matter how long we walk her in the evening after dinner. Sometimes if we're out walking for 3 hours or so she'll have another small one then, but usually we don't do an extended walk in the evening and she seems fine, doesn't ask to go outsidem and never goes in the house. Weirdo.

Hardcore prey model raw feeders Only feed their dogs a few times a week, mimicking feeding schedules if they were living in the wild. They'll buy or put together a meal equivalent to whole prey, let the dog binge and then feed them in a couple of days.

Zoey still eats her raw meals twice a day, but I'm starting to think about going to once. She's not always terribly interested in breakfast anymore, so I might start cutting it in half, and adding the rest to her dinner meal.
If the dog's okay with it, there's no reason it should be a problem.
