times - switching to feeding 2x day

[cscarro]

hello!

we finally found a food that our 6 month old girl likes (TOTW) and would like to switch her to 2 feedings a day instead of 3. I'm wondering what the best times to feed are when you go to twice a day.

she still likes to sleep in in the morning and doesn't like to eat very early. The earliest I can usually get her to eat is like 8:30 - 9 am. Any suggestions?

thanks!

Timing of meals isn't that important, as long as it's something that suits you well enough. What's more important is the length of time in between meals - ideally, you'd try to give the two meals 12 hours apart (or if that's not realistic, as close to 12 hours as is feasible). This helps to ensure that the dog doesn't go too long without food (which is something that tends to make many boxers nauseous, and likely to refuse food).
