I feed Abby and Ferris once a day and always in the early evening. I am not concerned about Ferris...I call him my "chunky monkey" but Abby is so active and I worry sometimes that she is not getting enough to eat. She does not really like snacks...dog biscuits, etc and she is one very active little girl. I have tried offering her a meal in the morning and sometimes she goes for it but for the most time she is not interested. Pattie has shared some great recipes for home cooked doggie snacks and I hope to cook some of these and see if Abby goes for it. Her weight is good and she is solid muscle but I sometimes think about her during the day and wonder if she is hungry.

Madison gets fed twice a day & tries to get snacks anytime he sees food (even if it is some stranger that has it).
He is on a much different diet than most of the Frenchies here due to his medical problems. He eats about 1/3 can wellness canned food mixed with pumpkin. I also add some omega oils to this & sometimes have to water it down more also. For a boy who has restrictions on the size & hardness of the food he can have he is a pig. I have to watch him like a hawk, because he will taste everything & anything that touches the floor.

Twice a day here for Athlon too, usually at 9am and 6pm. I prefer not to feed just once a day because of the throwing up problem like for Dot (Athlon's cybersister ;)).
