Thank you for your time putting out a very good video. I have a 85-90 Mal-lab mix. After year 1 1/2 I switched to a complete raw diet at 1.5 lb of food daily. I recently changed from 2 times a day to 1 which is in the evening. He gets around 3-7 miles a day on mountain hikes off collar his pace varies depending on what he is doing. I only feed in evening so he can relax and digest his food slow and to help prevent any chance of bloating or flipping his stomach. He is an athlete that is fast and powerful and getting out going hard can be very dangerous. I follow basically the BARF diet the results have been amazing.

@@Hootie22B My GSD eats about same in lbs with veggies is about 3 1/2 cups, if less he has no energy. How many cups of food for yours? I am trying to feed once daily for awhile but like your dog he is deep chested and get lots energy like running sometimes after dinner meal. He is not thirsty or hungry till evening

The editing is amazing!! Well done! Also, this is really interesting study. I have noticed that my dog sometimes isn't hungry for all 3 times a day. He's a 15 morkie poo.

If my dog doesn’t eat every 12 hours he vomits, so i have to feed him twice a day. Only dog I’ve had that’s does that.

[@calebdejesus161]

Same here!!

[@capricorn8426]

Yes I think he vomits because his body is used to eating twice a day. Same reason why some dog who eats at 7 am every day will vomit when they eat at a different time.

[@laurenmichero9003]

I have little dogs and they can’t eat just once a day. They don’t eat very much at one time like some bigger dogs do. And they are picky eaters and less food motivated than other breeds. Never say never but I don’t think I could do this. it’s just not the same for little dogs vs big dogs in my experience

[@Alena23bloom]

Saaaaame my pup always vomits when he doesn’t eat 2xs

I had this issue, which is why my vets recommended to feed at random times so they wouldn’t start creating anticipation bile

[@carolebelliveau7545]

I recently subscribed and have a question I hope you can answer. I live in a state where the favorite dog is either a Pit Bull or a German Shepard. There are many strays, and while I plan on walking in the safest area I can find, there have been many lethal attacks on small dogs like mine. Please consider making a video on what to do when one of these strays or off leash dogs is approaching and what legal sprays we can carry to protect our dogs and ourselves.

I do think that every dog is different depending on weight and any pre-existing medical conditions. I adopted a 4yr old dog, 6yrs ago, who I soon after, discovered had a thyroid condition, as well as, DCM. I fed her 2x a day so she could receive her medication 2x a day with food. She made it a little over 5yrs with me before a massive heart attack took her, unexpectedly this summer. Super grateful for the time her cardiologist was able to keep her mind and body, happy and healthy. she live her best life, right up tell the very end.

I know puppies have to eat frequently. At what age do we start transitioning from 3-4 meals a day to 1-2. Apologies if this has been asked already

[@umboar2010]

6 months is the ideal age or no later than 7-8 months. I switch my puppy to 2 meals a day after 6 months especially when he got neutered.

[@inubakablog]

My vet told me not to feed once a day because of the risk of bloat?

[@RachelFusaro]

Working with your vet is always recommended, & the study is one suggestion of many possibilities. I feed a fresh or raw low carb diet so bloat isn’t as prevalent ❤️

My Amstaff and White Frenchie eat once a day. The white Frenchies are known to have all kinds of health issues. Both of my dogs are super healthy and Vets are always surprised at how healthy my white frenchie is. Both dogs are full of energy, muscular, and lean.

[@seventeenraccoons2825]

When he was a puppy I fed him twice a day and then when he was about 12 months I began feeding him once a day as I have been 'intermittent fasting' for the past 35 years and it seemed obvious to me that a dog should eat only once a day when you look at a dog's digestive system, one big sack and a short tube to the backside.

[@RachelFusaro]

[@candacehood9864]

I feed my girl once a day as well and she has no issues I feed her in the early afternoon because of the times that we train in the morning. I have a 2 year old Cane Corso and she weighs 97lbs which is a great weight for her breed. We compete in high level sports and it works for us! We are also on a raw diet!

[@Fahooti]

Hi there!! I’m wanting to transition my malamute to eating once a day. Do you feed your girl 2 portions for dinner or just 1? Thank you!

[@jakeMontejo3272]

I eat once a day during the week and have been for 20+ years, not because of health reasons, it was a habit I picked up accidentally through a previous job. I accidentally forgot to feed my dog recently (I was sick and slept for over 20 hours) and it got me thinking about this subject. I continued to feed her in the AM with a snack in the afternoon for the past 3 weeks. I will say she doesn’t walk as far as she did prior, we typically walked more than 2 miles in the afternoon, now it’s more like 1.5 and she needs a rest. Not sure if it’s the food or just getting older.

[@Taureantiger888]

[@vickifrederick2934]

Great information for shelters and rescues who have a large number of dogs to care for

[@dawnh8185]

I just started feeding my 55lb and 63lb pit mix's 1 time a day. I feed raw and at random times during the day as well, and the hunger pukes have stopped completely. My 63lb dog gets 1450 oz of food a day and the 55lb gets about 1200. I have an excel spreadsheet that I input what I'm feeding and it populates the info for me. I purchased it online from a raw food youtuber. It's been great! I also do NOT let them run around for at least 2 hours after, to be safe.

[@kkmd0113]

This makes me feel a lot better about only feeding my dog once a day! Thanks Rachel!

[@RachelFusaro]

Go you! 👏

[@Starry_Night_Sky7455]

Yeah but what do you feed? If it's just dry kibble, might not be a grand idea. If you feed something in appropriate quantities with adequate water content that is protein and fat based ( kinda like Keto - can be raw or cooked) that might be fine. Might. I think twice per day is better. Ive had several large dogs all live long healthy lives. Gut motility and *hydration* is improved with that 2x per day meal schedule. Also if someone has a dog that has high food drive eating twice per day can help prevent that dog from going bonkers. Some dogs will develop pica where they consume anything like dirt (or worse...poop!) to satisfy their need to eat. Two meals per day makes way more sense than this silly fad-like orthorexia study. I could care less what this study found (not doubting the claim though as the same intermittent fasting has similar positive effects for humans). My experience suggests 2x per day is far more sound over a lifetime. Quality of life is more important. But if your dog is happy on a once daily feeding routine, that's fine. Some dogs are like this. Generally I think twice per day makes more sense. Keeps them content.

[@kkmd0113]

@@Starry_Night_Sky7455 Hi! She is a high energy working breed and gets a ton of exercise a day. She is decently good motivated but more so loves her toys. I feed her a varied protein diet of probiotic kibble and frozen raw/freeze dried raw. Mostly fish protein because it’s kept her coat in great condition, as she is a shepherd so we deal with less shedding with as much fish as she gets. I add different supplements to help with joint support since she is a shepherd and very active. I also add hydration in several forms whether it be water, bone broth, or goats milk. I prefer to feed her once at night because she is running around/getting walked/playing during the day and I want to avoid any chance of her getting bloat. You bring an interesting point that twice a day meals would keep them happier, but I think that’s putting human emotion into meal time and meals. I used to think of meals in that way but have come to learn that dogs think of a meal as just that- they’re getting food, not how many times or how they feel about getting fed if that makes any sense.

I have a mini dachshund who I’m sure would do fine with once a day. My chihuahua on the other hand would do fine with non stop eating 😣 I feed them twice a day but would love to move to once because of everything in your video. Definitely they beg more or at least the chihuahua does. Also I am a shift worker & that’s been a struggle for picking times of day. I’ve been trying to stick with -every 12 hours but now that seems too far apart. Ugh. I don’t know what to do. I make their food myself about every 6 weeks. Freeze it. They each get a quarter cup. We get good long walks in about 45’-an hour each or every other day. I just moved to 8 hour night shifts which is different & they seem to be having trouble waiting the full 12 hours but it’s probably just because I’m up & awake & notice. 😂

My dog gets reflux if he doesnt eat often enough. He has unlimited access (he can ask for food using a talking button & he gets it in enrichment toys/bowls only) because he's able to stop when he's no longer hungry & he's not overweight at all, his weight is stable. This way he's able to adjust on his own depending on his activity level, which can vary since we're heavily involved in dog sports. Which is amazing, and as long as he's not overweight I dont think im ever going to stop. My cats eat once a day because they are a little overweight (obviously they are much less active) and they never had any issue with it. I would say it totally depends, listen to your pets' needs and adapt...

Even though they did see this with the owner responses they got…they even said the this just means it warrants further investigation. It’s not definitive at all. I personally don’t think as a Vet tech for over 20 years that it’s healthy for them to have one meal a day. That’s too much volume for one day and really their blood glucose levels would be better regulated actually with two meals. Also, large breed dogs could bloat with a once a day volume

I added 1physillium fiber capsule per feeding 3x a day. And I'm now trying Tummy Powder/anti-diarrheal Bentonite clay. She was being fed Purina one large breed puppy by the Breeder and the Vet had me put her on Purina Pro Plan large breed puppy. Both of those are horrible foods and I let the vet know that I felt that way I asked about feeding her a home cooked food or adding a raw topper and the Vet was extremely against it. I am feeding Victor Beef and Rice to my other 3 dogs. I wish I had a good recipe for a cooked food for my puppy and my other 3 girls. My puppy has had horrific explosions of diarrhea 24 hrs after each of her Vaccinations. She has pooped normally formed poop several different times but as each poop after that she goes right back to the cow pie poop. I don't know what to do I have given her brown rice and chicken stock saved the rice water and added that into her dry food the rice helps she's getting 7 cups of dry a day 2 cups at the am and then 2 1/2 for the other 2 feelings. I bought raw instinct and I have a raw frozen 7 lb tube of puppy food from my local small pet store. I want her off of the purina food I just don't know what to get for her giant breed and being a growing Dane. Her energy is and has been great her temperament is great. She's got a very very good appetite wants her food and her Labradoodle sisters food too lol. I just don't know where to turn any suggestions Or advice would be a godsend.

I started feeding her the homemade dog food from that earthling1984 guy’s recipes and she is completely different. Skin problems, itchiness, irregular clay-like or soft poop problems were all gone within a week. She’s spunkier and is super healthy now.

Along with avoiding carbs like the plague, they'd benefit likely even more than humans do with IF and eating less often to avoid spiking insulin. Mine eat raw and natural home made with an occasional fast, skipping a day's meal with just broth.

I been doing intermittent fasting and even done a 9 day fast myself. I been periodic fast for my Malinois and her energy weight loss and overall stamina is definitely improving. I do intermittent fasting with her and 1 3-4 day wet fast every couple months

[@1anjani2]

I free feed my Husky. Although she has access to her food all the time, she eats only once a day!

[@ronu7313]

It sounds like you are not feeding raw

[@cockapoolover3025]

The problem is a dogs gut bacteria feeds on what is in their gut i.e. food so if there is nothing in there the good bacteria will start to feed on the bad bacteria causing GI issues.

[@rkier123]

If you feed in the Bob a lot do you wash it every time? It doesn't look easy to clean.

[@jayhernandez6812]

I am getting a fib goldendoodle standard size this week about 8 weeks from breeder, and breader telling that need to eat same food for 1 year. Breeder tell me to stick with purina chicken rice. Can i mix something good more good dog food than this? Mix it with wet food and down the road change it to better food?

[@teresadj9972]

My yorkipoo is 1 and she has been rejecting her food. She doesnt eat in the morning and in the afternoon she’ll jus nibble on little pieces. Idk if she is bored of the food or what but i have tried toppers and she will still look at me like im crazy. Any ideas!?

[@shawnahubble1220]

START MAKING HER FOOD with REAL HEALTHY INGREDIENTS.. I feed my 10lb chi a plain scrambled egg with 1/4 tsp chia seeds in morning and then lil cooked chicken or turkey with added peas for dinner… Here is a simple recipe from “Veterinary secrets” yt channel >>Simple recipe.. one-third animal protein this is ground turkey , add in some sunflower oil it's one third healthy carb we have sweet potato then one third veggies I made up some peas this would be a standard meal for a little 20 pound dog> about a half a cup of the ground turkey half a cup of the sweet potato half a cup of the peas. i also give my girl mashed apples, kale, romaine, shredded carrots, blueberries and other healthy whole foods that WE people eat.👍🏻 IT IS A LIE that dogs should eat dry kibble their whole life, how would you like to eat dry kibble your whole life? They are vibrant living lil souls and need healthy whole foods and some of them are smart enough to realize that.👍🏻😊

[@vanevalverdecastro8133]

Hello, I have a question. Does it count as food if I leave a lip mat while I'm gone so the dog doesn't get bored? or if I just put peanut butter in it, is it like a snack?

[@jesusmywholehaschanged]

If it's food, it counts as food. Boredom eating is bad for humans and dogs alike.

[@TreeRatChaser]

My dog gets a 1/lb bag of raw food and veg a day and the odd treats thru the day.

[@MoonlitPurpleRose]

… I learn a lot from your videos and I am grateful that you are sharing your finds with us. We all should learn from each other. I feed my 12 months old GSD twice per day and unfortunately since the day I got him he is always crying before his meals and I honestly don’t have any idea what could have caused it? Sometimes I really feel like a bad pet mum …

[@xxblossomz6323]

Same I have an ACD she does the same thing I’m not sure why as well.

[@MoonlitPurpleRose]

@@xxblossomz6323 … I have tried giving him food at different times but nothing is working … 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@RachelFusaro]

Thank you for your kindness and your dedication to you dog. My dood Fin used to do that and I would wait quietly until he offered a calming behavior (ie sit or down) before feeding and he eventually learned that whining or barking didn’t equate food

[@graciefabian386]

Thank you I have been having a lot of questions for feeding since my dog is picky and also doesn’t eat much

[@RachelFusaro]

Picky pups can be overwhelming, but you got this. What food is working the best?

[@JLU-wm8ir]

can you feed a small minpin once a day . i would like to try it

[@Drax899]

How often do you feed your dogs that pumpkin powder ??🤔

[@darlenereisterer5653]

I love the Idea of once a day feeding too!

[@littleninja71]

Taking the study with a grain of salt since it's a meta-analysis of data points - which only associates data points to expected (and possibly biased) outcomes and is not a real world result. Instead, a longitudinal study of a set of dogs throughout their lives that results in certain outcomes, if it showed the same outcomes as this analysis of data, would be helpful.

[@lptherapygroup6591]

It's the same with humans but difficult for most of us to follow. It is fasting.

[@RachelFusaro]

Yes when I started eating less frequently, it was hard at first but I have more energy!

[@moomoos696]

Should you add the pumpkin everyday?

[@RachelFusaro]

I add pumpkin to my dog's bowl at least 3-5x per week! I like to rotate my supplements, but they LOVE it so much. I really like using it on a lickmat (like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXTPo2xursZ5pLc

[@heydesiree]

@@RachelFusaro what’s the advantage of pumpkin powder to say, puréed pumpkin?

[@dannyboy8644]

I have been feeding pumpkin 🎃 to my dog for years . It adds natural fiber and helps with his bowl movement. I usually add a table spoon . you can adjust more or less .Depends on the weight of the dog . Start with small and increase or decrease when his poop seem s slightly firm

[@jeanpernarelli846]

I do enjoy most of your videos. However, I was not too pleased with one of your most recent ones. The one about frequency of feeding. I heartily disagree with you on this. The trouble with “influencers” on YT and everywhere else,is that people tend to hang on their word and do as they say. There is not alot of reliable research available out there…at least not enough to make me deprive my dog of her breakfast and dinner. I believe that dogs need to be fed 2 meals a day. I believe one should always measure out the appropriate amount of food that will keep their dog at an appropriate weight for its age and activity level. Give your dog a variety of protein -rich foods,do your research on ingredients,feed the best quality that you can,never give the dog human snacks or food.. high-quality,limited ingredient dog foods,serve a bone broth or other liquid in their food. Eggs are a great source of vitamins and minerals…only organic ,raw of poached.. 😅

[@tc4life13]

I feed my dog once a day and i keep it random as far as timing as well and i feed a home made raw diet

[@THCYOMOM]

I’ve been feeding my dog twice a day night and morning is it suggested I switch to one right away she’s a Bernese mountain dog mix

[@THCYOMOM]

And my roommate has other dogs and she’s always eating out of there bowls

[@gosiek678]

[@Cocoe56]

my dog eat 1 on day

[@aaronprieto613]

Im about to get a 9week mini schnauzer. Is it okay to start one meal a day when they are puppies? If so, should that meal be abit bigger then normal?

[@lei5342]

wait until they are 1 year old

[@GiaDougherty]

So, if my dogs eat on a schedule ( twice a day morning and evening) how would I transition them to eating only once a day? Also I like the schedule because then I know when they will poop 😅 specially since one of my dogs is 11 months and was very challenging to potty train her! She still has accidents on the house once in a while. Help? Thanks

[@dameonparris878]

Just give 2 treats after poo in the Morning, Every Poo give treats only, it’s a dog they can survive on water during day untill Dinner time they will appreciate the meal more plus if they don’t finish it, leave it for Breakfast before or after morning poo, That Dinner meal will make them poo in Mornings Gracefully lol

[@vickifrederick2934]

New rescue really does not seem interesting to eat more than once daily. Previous dogs wanted to eat every time I went into kitchen

[@mountainseeker2844]

My budget is telling me to like this video.

[@beckg2052]

What do you think of honest kitchen dog food

[@susanbedard2295]

What do we do when we don't want or like to feed kibble AT ALL!! All or most of these toys are for Dry FOOD!!! Even if we make our own treats like dehydrated liver bits or dehydrated kidney ,lung ,chicken etc this is still not a meal. These toys like a shuffle mat or these toys they push around and dry stuff fall out are not appropriate. I don't know. Any dry extruded kibble with grain or not is, I feel when feeding raw is not appropriate.

[@arielleluana]

My dog pretty much only eats once a day. She lets her food bowl sit ALLL day most of the time.

[@shorelined1]

Sounds like highly processed kibble
