How often do you feed your Doodle?

[Susan and Sophie]

Sophie is 6 months - I've been feeding her 3 times a day. When do I switch to twice a day?

[Aileen Chetcuti]

I have just cut Jake down to 2 times a day. He is 16 months old and 75#s. He eats 2-3 cups very early at 5:30 AM. (I'm an early riser and then again around 5:00PM. He eats anywhere from 5-7 cups a day. I am an Italian mother so it was hard for me to cut him down to 2X. I would prefer to leave food out for him whenever he wants but know that is not good for him in the long run.

We feed Teddy 2 times per day - about a cup in the morning and then evening. He is a doodle pig and will eat all day if you let him! If ever he starts looking a tad chubby we cut back a bit to maybe 3/4 cup at each meal.

Poodles run a risk of twisted gut in the breed because they eat so fast. My doodle is a gobbler. So I feed him twice a day. 2 cups and 1/2 can of soft. (Always Eagle Pack Brand Holistic) and 2 cups dry at night. And one or two cookies during the day.

[Debbie and Thomas]

Our dog is not interested in food in the morning. So I feed him at around 12:00 noon and then again at 6:pm. I only ever fed him twice a day since we brought him home at 8 weeks. He will be 1 on Sept 30th and I will keep up the twice a day forever I think.

Brody is 8 months and is given food 2x a day.... He takes food from my 3 kids about 5x a day. I feed just as much as Sue & Wilson.. (2 cups in the morning and 2.5 cups in the evening)

We're still on 3 meals, but we've cut back so that lunch is more of a small snack. Agnes is almost 7 months. We'll probably try to go to 2x a day in the next month or so.

[Kendra K. Rhoton]

We still fed 3 times a day at 7 months... and probably will as long as we can

[Sue & Willy Babe]

When Wilson was 13 months I started cutting back to 2x's a day only because I was starting to go back to work at school and I wanted him to get use to no lunch So i feed him 2 Cups in the morning and 2 1/2 in the evening and that seems to work very well, When we walk I have a few treats with me so he gets extras he is still at a good weight of 72 pounds but, I will take him in next week to get weighed, my vet likes his weight.

I stated cutting back on the 3rd meal at lunch time at 6 months and went with 2xs a day, morning & evening by the time mine reached 9 months....mine also nibble a lot...they don't finish their morning meal so it sits there till they do...they are on dry and get yogurt sometimes....they actually didn't loose on food cause it increased their morning and evening meals...all bags of food come with a feeding guide on how much to give them, so I split that up 3 ways..than just added it back to morning and evening....
