Just curious as to what age others have switched a puppy from 3 feedings down to 2 a day and if they did a slow switch or just eliminated a feeding all together. Ellie is 4 months right now.
Thanks Becky.Lots of people go to 2 feedings a day immediately. If they work it's a necessity. We changed Jake from 3 to 2 feedings at 5 months..but we had the luxury of me being home. I'll tag @JeannieCO..I'm certain she is one who went to 2 feedings a day almost immediately after bringing Emma home.
Thanks Becky.
When I got Wilson last year at 8 weeks old he went to twice a day feeding within a week and the same with Emma whenI got her earlier this year (she was 8 weeks too). The reason I did this is that I have to leave for work at 7 and don't get home until 5. I will not feed my dogs unattended for the sole reason that they can choke to death on their food. We actually had our old Ace dropped to the floor right in front of us on Christmas Eve 2 years ago. He was finsihing up eating and apparently a kibble or kibbles got stuck and he keeled over. Because we knew what had happened and were all right there, he lived for another 1.5 years. My husband gave him doggy himlick (excuse the mispell) and out popped kibble. He continued on that night like nothing had happend.
What I would recommend is when you do get home give your bully make feeding time shortly after that. Ellie May will adapt pretty quick and will be just fine.
