\r\n <!-' + '- google_ad_section_start -' + '->I think its better to feed at random times. If you have specific times to feed, dogs will start bugging you as the time draws near because they know food is on the way. Also many dogs will have what is known as hunger pukes if they are expecting a meal at a specific time and its late getting there. What happens is that dogs, thinking that food is eminent, will start to secret very acidic stomach juices expecting the food to arrive. If it doesn\'t arrive they have all these acids floating around in their stomachs and they need to get rid of it. Therefore they puke it up. This seems to happen more with newly switched raw fed dogs.<!-' + '- google_ad_section_end -' + '-><!-' + '- AMS SECOND IN POST -' + '->\r\n

I agree, it has made me think of it differently and I am going to be a bit more random about feeding times in future.

Feeding Time
Do you think there is a best or better time to feed your dogs? How important is consistency in a dog's meal time?
