Do you all think it's okay not to leave food and water for my dog while i'm at work during the day? We keep him in his crate with a divider so food and water won't even fit in there with him and his toys. We feed him 3 times a day - 8am, 1pm, and 6pm so that's about the only time he gets food/water. Our trainer at Petsmart told us not to leave it out all the time and not any after 7pm so we're not having to take him outside all night (which has worked great!) Sometimes we do give him some water after 7 though, just not a whole lot. We've been doing this since he was 8 weeks old (he's almost 15 weeks now) and he's always seemed fine. I was just wondering what you all do?
