When is last feeding at your house? Let me approach my problem from a different angle since I can't get any responses (only 1) to my original post. What time do you feed your baby it's last meal of the day? Please let me know age of your baby too, thanks. |
Madison is almost 9 months, and she gets her last meal between 9-10 p.m. :) |
Hi Elizabeth, Sam is almost 3 (Nov) and he has always been free fed. He doesnt have a "last feeding". Now from his habits, I noticed he likes to eat a little bit right after I have finished eating, then a lil bit when I get into bed then he crawls into bed (he sleeps thru the night) then he gets up in the morning and eats some more. He is 6/12lbs. |
My dogs don't have a last feeding either. I homecook for them, and Missy gets that twice a day. There is however always kibble available for both dogs to nibble on. |
I free feed also so it's always available but mine do usually get a bit to eat around 9. Mine range in age 4 yrs, 3 yrs, almost 2 and 11 months. |
let's see, Kaji is last fed at around 7-9 pm, it depends on what time we get back from his walk/doggie park. He eats at around 8 or 9 am and pretty much snacks all day if I'm home to give him snacks. |
about 8pm |
Last feeding My last feeding is 7:00 p.m. If my dog eats after that, she gobbles down too much water late in the evening and will pee in my house in the middle of the night. If we are active doing something, she can have a biscuit later on before bedtime. She is 5 1/2 years. |
Thank you to all that responded. Here's the problem: Bandit, alais "Sir Craps alot" has been getting his last meal at 5-6 pm. He is 4 months old. I can't get him to go poo until after 11pm while he's in his crate and I'm asleep, it's just a big mess! I have tried making the crate small with just enough room for him to lay down, but he poops anyway & then steps in it, sleeps in it etc. I have tried keeping him outside with me for hours on end, nothing. What is the earliest I can feed him his last meal, so he will poo before bed? |
Ivy is about 6, Max is almost 2 and they get feed last at about 5 or 6. If I free feed Ivy would eat all the time. As it is she a little plump in the rump :rolleyes: |
Sophie is 9 months old. She free feeds until about 7pm and then her food bowl comes up. She can have a biscuit or two after that. This system helped her become completely housebroken. We go to bed about 10pm. She sleeps through the night and gets up with us about 5am, goes outside and her food bowl goes down again. She has a doggie door. She chooses to eat about a half cup or a little more. She weighs in at about 4 lbs. :Pawprint:Jackie & Sophie:aimeeyork:Pawprint: |

I free feed too . . .Rhianna nibbles all day long and just "has to" finish everything when I'm getting ready for bed at 10:00pm. She is 6 1/2 pounds and is 15 months old. Brody is 2 1/2, weighs 5 1/4 pounds and he'll nibble a bit in the morning and at regular dinner time . . . |
Feeding My babies get fed at 8AM and 4PM. Sophie the smallest is 18 months old and weighs 3-3.5 lbs. Have you tried walking him or do you let him run around in the yard. I have always found walking them encourages pooping.:) |

This works for me as well. I feed Winston his dinner at about 6-6:30 and then at 7:30 I take him out and let him run wild in the yard with the other dogs. It take about 15 minutes but it is a guaranteed pooping time, lol. |
Roxie is free fed as well. She will usually nibble at her food while I'm making coffee for the next morning. That's around 10ish. She does this every night. I'm glad because she has gotten sick a couple of times in the night from having an empty stomach. Best to let them have just a little bit before bed. Definately a little bit of a run makes them go. Everytime I take Roxie walking she usually has to poo. |

mine must be really easy then: she gets fed at 6:30am, noonish, and 6:30pm...i used to free feed kibble, but she's a porker and just gobbles it all up no matter how much or little is there so i quit doing it. she goes poop RIGHT after breakfast and literally RIGHT after supper. sometimes she won't poop one of those poops and sometimes she skips a day which worries me a little but she always goes the next day on schedule again so i've never had a constipation issue. she's great about pooping on schedule. |
I also free feed. Except they both get about a tablespoon of wet food at 6:30 am. then kibble the rest of the day. Oliver is 5 months old and sleeps through the night, Buttons is 4 (Nov) and was so easy to train. I do take them both out about 11 pm before we go to bed and they do their stuff, get a small treat and off to bed for the both of them. |
Fancy is 11 months old and I free feed her. There is always kibble in her bowl. She only eats until she is full, there is almost always food left over. She eats like a bird but a few times a day, just whenever she gets hungry - she will go into the kitchen. She poops twice a day, once when I take her out first thing in the morning and again in late afternoon, early evening. I do give her treats a couple times a day (not everyday) but when I want to reward her for something or just for being so darn cute! hehe:p |
With 5 dogs, I feed them twice a day, 8am and 5-6pm. I give them a snack before bedtime, and the doggy door gets shut at 10pm for the night. When I wake up in the morning, I get them all excited by saying, "Who wants to go out", and they all run to the doggy door, and go out to do their business. |
Tia gets breakfast at 7am and last feed at about 3.30 pm after her walk , she is 14 mths old also the odd buiscuit in her kong if she brings it to me later in the evening. |
I free feed my older yorkies and they are fine with that, they usually don't eat in the evenings anyway. With my current litter though, (they are now 15 wks) I crate them at night..take em out at 5:30 am and they poop. Then I feed them right away and they will poop again around 11 or noonish. I give them their last meal around 6pm. It sounds like you have him on a schedule you just might want to feed him earlier in the morning and his last feeding moved up a bit too. |
I free feed as well. Usually, they all have supper around 6:30pm....Somtimes later, I have no porkers so this works well for all of mine. My ages are 6,5,3,2,1.3,almost 1 |
Lacey will eat breafast at 6 am and poops right after. She has a snack/treat at 4 pm when I get home and poops right after the snack. She is 16 months and has had this same schedule since she was 6 months. |
My two get fed breakfast when we get up in the morning. We are early risers because DH has to be at work at 6am. At 8am before I go to work they get a teaspoon of Activia Vanilla yogurt. The get dinner at about 4ish when I get home from work. They get a snack at 8:30pm, (cherios,chicken jerky,or dehydrated sweet potato or boiled chicken). We alternate snacks so they don't get bored. I can't free feed because my little bity Jada is a little bity piggy. She will eat as long as there is food. She has became quite a little chunk so we have to monitor her intake.(she has lp and vet doesn't want her to get over 5lbs).:( |
Yogi is 9 years old Bella Mia is 21 months old and her puppies are almost 10 weeks old and we free feed. I have never had a problem with any dog being over weight. We really keep an eye on the "EXTRA" treats which I think helps ALOT. Plus we live on 10 acres so there is lots of exercise as the dogs go everywhere with us. |
I free feed all mine, but I will say this: at 4 months Fergus wasn\'t housebroken, either. We had had him about a month, he was good during the day, but nights were a problem. We put his crate right next to our bed and when he woke up to go, he would wimper to get out. I would scoop him up and put him on a pee pad in the bathroom in my room. He did his thing, then straight back in the crate. We did this for about 2 months until he could go through the night. He is 9 months old this month and has the occasional lapse but generally is so good he sleeps with us now. :D |
I forgot to tell that Jada is 2 and Bogie is 1:D |
Piper\'s four, Suiki\'s 3, Sketers 4, and Axels 6 months, and I feed them for the last time at 4 p.m., or else I wake up to poopies all over the place. I use to feed them there last meal at 6 p.m, but that just didn\'t work out. Hope this helps. |
