feeding once a day vs twice a day - Page 4

Then if the dog does not never  eat the food, then why give it to him, That is Stupid

and you are not a clever person, take note of YR and Bloat

Your Dog may regret your bumpcious attitude later on

As i said post a photo we can make up our own minds as to what is over weight or nor

And for your information, I have just finished writing a book on Pigeon Racing and my Methods

I may yet put my thoughs to paper on Dogs you never know

Steve

Well,  if you're so smart, you would have gotten that the first time I wrote it, not the third. LOL You calling someone stupid!!!! I also don't have the inclination to take and post a picture for your curiousity.....particulary when that's off topic...FOCUS!!!! 

If your high-minded pigeon book  reflects your focus, comprehension, and cogency skills, I pity your publisher and editor. Post your manuscript for us to read. I'll also be waiting on your GSD piece, so we can all be saved by you, Jesus. If you can't read and comprehend, how could you possibly transcribe your thoughts. Fun-ny!

"and you are not a clever person, take note of YR and Bloat"   Again, if you go back to my original post, I mentioned bloat. You just can't read and understand.

It is better to be thought of as a fool......rather than, open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Your welcome..Another thing to think about. is...Dogs dont reason. THey are very smart, in fact, half are smarter than their master who tries.  The dogs cannot reason that   Oh , Im hungry and Ill eat what master just fixed , because they learn at 7 oclock  they get fed..they know by the sounds outside and inside by your schedule,,it is their usual dinner time..So they look at you and where is my dish full of goodies...They eat it because you do this and you have set them into this schedule.

Now that they do this, one day , Bomber eats when he really has a tummy ache and he has had a little gas for three days, and he cant tell Master that he hurts, and germans hide hurt real well, so he gobbles down his good meal, and the kibble starts to get bigger and bigger in his tummy , maybe because he has a tummy full of water he just drank , and wow..tummy goes into a grumbling , rolling thunder and gas gets trapped and he cant ask for a rolaid...You hubby or son or daughter have mouths and can tell you....Honey , I need some Pepto or a Pepcid , I hurt...I need to lie down...I shouldnt have eaten that ham tonight.,

Dogs cant talk nor reason..They do eating out of  hunger and of habit..both. Some have high gobble drives, like all of mine, and some have medium eating drives. and some eat because it is 7 o clock and my master is feeding me.

One wrong move and the dog doesnt know it is a serious condition and he doesnt know anything but roll and vomit and gag and cant tell you his insides are turning inside out and by the time you notice the sides hard and him gagging bile  and cant do anything but foam at the mouth....it is in serious timing now...You cant second guess it. 

There is no set rule that feeding 2 times with moisture will always stop the bloat torsion, but it is also well known it sure helps the digestion system slow down and helps regulate a gut into digestion more thoroughly a smaller amount of food at any given time...A lot of time, the dog eating his own poop, is because it didnt even digest properly , and it is expelled not digested.

Thanks, YR! These are the the types of substantive comments that I was looking for as responses.

"There is no set rule that feeding 2 times with moisture will always stop the bloat torsion, but it is also well known it sure helps the digestion system slow down and helps regulate a gut into digestion more thoroughly a smaller amount of food at any given time."

That is a great rationale statement for doing things one way.  I appreciate the thought provoking insights you've contributed. Very good context for contrasting.

As i said, you ask a question then provide the answer yourself, You say you have feeding ration of your dog down to a science, then you go on to tell us you give it more food for it to eat 24 hours a day if it wants it

Some sort of scentific feeding that is

What a load of rubbish you spout, Better to say nothing than make yourself look a prat

As for my Book, I was asked to write it by the publisher, and Yes, it will sell well 

I cannot correspond with people who have an empty head , and you are one of those sort of people

Steve

As it is, I feed top kibble that doesn't swell in water and only 2.5 cups a day. No need to split it up. If I gave my dog 1.25 cups of food, he would look at me like I was a nutcase. If you are feeding 6 cups of Ol Roy, you may have a point to split the meals. If a dog can't live with 1 meal a day, maybe he isn't meant to live at all and I certainly don't want to use it for breeding. WTF??? It's like coddling a sickly pup...why, so it an die early later on down the road. Let nature take it's course, at least in a few areas peeps.

Baden will eat until he pops, trust me he got into my other dogs feeder when I free fed. I thought he was going to die. I didn't feed him for 3 days, the 4th, he looked normal again. Not a dog I would free feed but the other was, very skinny, hard to put weight on dog, like a Malinios. Point is....you have to look at the dog, the food and the owner to come up with a feeding plan.

You are an imbecile! I said I have his ration down to a science. Ration means- Food allowance for one day. I actually determined that the same way you described in your first post....I wouldn't expect you to remember what you said a few posts back. You can't follow one post to the next, let alone multiple posts. That said, if the "science" is junk, it's yours as well.

That is true, and that's why he is not hungry or has a desire to eat more from his free feed. Again, if you knew how to read, you would see claims that dogs would be hungry if they ate once a day etc. That's not true, in my case. But this is not about me (see topic title).

You're trying to make this about the way I feed. The questions I posed were about how other people feed and why.....to contrast different methods to give me and other readers something to think about.

I've wasted more time trying to explain what the questions are to YOU and trying to help YOU follow a single thought process, than I have gained from the discussion..........You're right, I won't waste any more time with a puny 10% brain user like you.

You must've really frustrated your teachers coming up. We're on Y&Z, and the class has to wait as you're stuck on A&B.

bill clinton!!lol  i bet your gsd is more smart then you!

Thanks for your comments, 4pack. Very interesting natural selection reasoning behind your response.

I'm just not all for eeking them along. Mother Nature knows best. Going to drastic measures to keep your dog alive is retarded if you want to know what you really have to breed to.
