How many meals should a dog eat a day?

Most adult dogs aged 9 months or older can eat one meal a day, or two or more times a day if convenient. For puppies, judgment should be made based on food intake. For example, puppies in the puppy stage need to be fed once every 3 hours. Likewise, young dogs, working dogs, pregnant bitches, lactating bitches, sick dogs, and dogs in recovery usually need to be fed multiple times a day. The amount of feeding can be appropriately adjusted according to the shape of the dog's stool. If the stool is wet and soft, the amount of feeding should be reduced. If the stool is dry and hard, the amount of feeding should be increased.
