What time does your adult cocker have last meal of the day at?
« on: January 02, 2014, 03:27:12 PM »
Presuming its fed twice per day like Riley, he is hinting earlier and earlier these days.
If I get to 4.45pm Im lucky.... Just seems a long time to go until 7-7.30am next morning, saying that he has a couple of mariners choice biccies at bed time.

Anytime between 6-7 pm most of the time...slight adjustments if running late or going out earlier. Erin would eat at anytime of day or night but Tilly could take it or leave it

Approx 6.30pm and she always has a biscuit at bedtime (else she is sick in the morning).

Varies, depending on day as - I work during the week, and season - as summer evening walks are much longer:

6- 6:30-ish on week nights in winter,
7:30-ish on week nights in summer,
5pm-ish over weekends as they have more exercise and Emily starts looking particularly starved by about 4:30 and starts pestering me.

(My (poor) adult dogs are fed once a day aside from a stuffed kong in the morning).

Breakfast goes down at around 9 but doesn't get eaten much before 11.

Main meal down at 6, but leaves it up until about 8.

1 full biscuit broken in half at bedtime.

Jinley is also a take it or leave it dog, only a problem when you are wanting to go out with her for the day!!

The same for us depends on whether weekday or weekend and summer or winter
Breakfast is anywhere between 6am and 9am
Dinner anywhere between 4pm and 8pm
Biscuit each before bed

7 pm. is their usual time but it can vary by half an hour each way. Both get half a Bonio when they come in from their last trip around the garden before settling down for the night.

Thats the same thing I say often, but opposite way, ie if we were waiting to go out and he was to be fed, well its eaten and bowl washed and dried in under 5 mins  :005:

It depends whether Brodie is in fussy mode or not. She gets three meals a day, 8am, 12.30pm and 5.30pm, but when she slips into her old habits she often doesn't eat her breakfast until lunchtime. When that happens I shift her last meal to about 8pm.

She gets a little bit of chicken at night before bedtime.

Reading everyone's replies I feel like I must feed Abbi a bit early! She has breakfast 7am ish weekdays -9.00am weekends but dinner is usually about 4.30pm (unless we're out etc) she's not really asking for it at that time but it seems to have just fitted in with our life style and I always thought they needed a far bit of time to digest etc before bed so they didn't need a poo in the night! She has a small biscuit at bedtime to get her to come back inside after her last wee!
