I had planned on transistioning Skakespeare from 3 meals a day down to 2 at 6-9 months, and then down to 1 at a year old. However, I don't think he could skip his lunch!
FYI... I feed him raw meat/bones/organs, a veggie, and a dollop of yogurt (plus some other supplements) appropriate for his age/weight and adjust as he grows (some days are more depending on cut of meat and size of bones, etc). He does get some veggie or fruit treats in the afternoon. He is pretty active and has maintained a good, "slender" weight. He has never left a drop of food behind, in fact, he licks his entire bowl to make sure he hasn't missed anything. Even if he has had a larger portion of meat for lunch, there is no hesitation in eating his dinner.
If you transitioned, how did you do it and how did you know it was the right time? I know that there is no rule that he has to only eat once or twice a day, and that some dogs do need to eat more often. Any suggestions for how to try it? Anyone else still do 2 or 3 a day?
Thanks!
