I feed once a day in the morning. It's best to feed in the AM. Evening feeding can cause them to gain weight. It's fine to feed twice a day as long as you are not increasing the amount they eat all together and feed in the afternoon when they will still get some more exercise before bedtime.
I don't give Gracie many treats and I only give one ingredient all natural treats. The treats they sell in the department stores and pet stores are mostly junk and I prefer to feed Gracie as much all natural or organic as possible. She gets a treat after grooming. I could not train her with treats because she was such a picky eater as a puppy so she is good for doing tricks with out a treat. Most dogs train with treats but once they learn the behavior they should do it without having to have food all the time. |
