Those of average weight and energy are on 2 x. What I feed is Merrick before grain.

Thanks, Mardelin...I, probably, should do this, but my kidz are so spoiled, the others would mutiny, if they didn't get fed at the same time lol...Actually, feeding all three, wouldn't hurt...Buzz & Cha Cha have trouble keeping on weight, and Apple is just hungry, all the time...That's why I think 3 x a day would work for this little crew...

It seems miss Apple has just gotten into a routine... when she wakes up at 4:30, have you always gotten up and fed her, or let her out, etc? You can always re-train a dog to your schedule. Unless getting up at 4:30 isn't a big deal for you of course. I honestly only feed Jackson once a day (with kibble and wet). He gets 1/2 cup of Acana mixed with wet and about 3 mornings a week, he gets 2 Primal nuggets for breakfast. He's not interested in eating more than that.

I know, right! My boy, Buzz, would sleep in 'till 9, but Apple wakes up, and starts jumping on everybody, in the bed, to be sure we're all awake...Besides being ready to eat, she's ready to pee too, and she's outdoor trained...Buzz gets two medallions twice a day, and he still needs a little weight...That's why I'm thinking of the third meal, for him...Cha Cha, is supposed to get 3/4 oz. twice a day, but I give her 1 1/2 oz. twice and day, and she still only weighs 4 lbs...oh well, maybe someone will tell me what three times during the day they feed...Mardelin?
