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.
What time is your last feed?
-
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).
-
About 6pm with a biccy at bedtime....
-
6 here too ;)
-
6 here too but Jamie has three meals a day. Breakfast at 8 Dinner anytime between 12 and 1 and tea at 6.
Edited to add that Jamie will start begging for his tea as early as 3.30 :005:

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
-
3 times a day for Minstrel at moment 8.30-9: 1pm-1.30 and 5.30-6 ish small bonio at bedtime...oops sorry Minstrel is only 6 months ph34r
-
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:
-
Penny has a treat in morning when she comes back for wee and quick walk and dinner around one ish and tea at 5 ish with antos chew at 8 and treat before bed She does not come looking for food and on a Friday swimming at 2 and has her dinner when we get back.
-
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!
-
Rufus has his tea anytime between 6-7pm at the same time we eat. Gone in a few minutes rather than a few hours it used to take him before our adopted girl joined us! 2 small biccies at bedtime.
-
Between 6 and 7, but we're still on 3 meals.
Edit: we're also not adults... :doh: :doh:
-
Harvey has his at 4 pm, he always appears desperate for it and starts giving me all the signals from 3 pm onwards. Funnily he isn't as bothered about breakfast and will have it any time between 8 - 10am.
-
Archie has his evening meal at 4.30 before I start my evening teaching. He gets half a bonio at 5 and I save a small amount of his food - about a desertspoonfull - which he gets at 7pm to stop him getting too hungry overnight. I tried to cut this out when he was 6months old but he wasn't having it!!
-
Mine get fed early too, around 4pm, but they do get biscuits later in the evening, and always one at bedtime.
-
Blue has 3 meals a day, first one between 8am-9.30am. The second between 12-1.30 and his last meal between 4pm-6pm. He also has a couple of biscuits just before bed time, and 2 biscuits as soon as he wakes up. If he doesn't have his early morning and late evening biscuits he tends to bring up yellow bile, so we always make sure he has those.
-
1700 on the dot or we get 'the stare'
-
Whenever - no set time, depends on when we get home. Usually around 7 but can vary by hours....
Sometimes we've forgotten completely and there is no reminding stare :shades: :lol2:
-
5.15pm but Alfie gets a little kibble in a treat kong at 8.15pm
-
If I can ignore the stares and cainine tut tutting dinner is around 5.30 pm
-
Well we are very impressed with everyone as we started off giving Hattie her tea at around 5pm and it slowly started getting earlier now were between 2.30 and 3.00pm. She gets so hyper I have been known to actually go out the house because she is driving me mad ph34r
Darcy gets fed at the same time but he just sits around waiting, I think he would be happy for any time.
-
Dinner at 6pm and breakfast at 9am everyday - and I do get reminded by 4 Cocker paws (2 dogs) on my chest if I dare to sit down at meal time :005: :005: :005:
-
Depends on the time of year too but in winter it's usually between 6-6.30 and summer any time between 7.30-8.30ish as we go for much longer walks every evening after work. They don't mither for it in advance but if we're at home and it goes past 6.30ish Caoimhe and Tilly will start looking at me expectantly and running back and forward to the kitchen every time I move lest I forget and they waste away :lol2:
-
Whenever I get fed up of two dogs sat on my lap blocking the view of the telly.....
-
between 4 & 6pm usually
-
Usual meal times for Lottie and Lola are
Breakfast: 7am
Tea : between 4 and 6 pm depending on if I am at work or not :shades:
-
We feed main meal in evening. They get a taster for breakie. Very much depends if we are out and if the dogs are. If at a breed show during the day can be home later and so not fed till we get back. If one is off out to agiltiy training in the evening then they are not fed till returning and the others wait till they have gone out. We used to feed quite late after we had eaten, but changed it to earlier as was just getting later and later as we have always eaten later ourselves, so now generally between 5 & 6, but no exact set time as we move it about as I say. Good for them not to get to set in their ways and also gives it time to move through before bed. :shades: :005:
-
Breakfast between 7 and 9 am and dinner anytime between about 8 and 11 pm. :D
-
Ozzy has breakfast at anywhere between 7.30 and 8 am, and dinner at 6 pm (he knows the time and start looking expectantly at me a few minutes before!). He also has a Bonio at bedtime, usually between 10.30 and 11 pm.
-
Last meal 4pm (sometimes its as early as 3.15pm if they have been herding me to the fridge from 2pm onwards!)
Once they've had tea they settle down and that's it until breakfast which is around 8-9am following day.
-
Millie has her breakfast when me or OH get up so between 5 - 7am normally. If we forget to turn alarm clock off on days off I will feed her then go back to bed. Tea when she comes to work with me is about 6pm and days off I can't cope with the spinning and leaping every time I move so I usually cave in around 4pm :005:. She always has 1-2 gravy bones before bed.
