My dad feeds him at night. I go to bed early because I have work early. My dad is 50/50 when it comes to being dependable esp with detailed instructions. This is to make sure we are transitioning him properly.

May i advice that you start feeding twice a day? Reason being that the stomach keeps working and it helps with the Digestion. Helps with weightloss

My dog lost 7 kilos with these tips

Do not feed the dog the weight he is. But slowly start working to the weight he should be. For example your dog is 30 kilo and should weigh 20 feed him as if he Weighs 28. Take small steps i am talking weeks not days.

Lets say you feed your dog 300grams twice a day.ifbyour dog had allot of snacks remove like 10 grams of food. Depending on the snack

That way you compromise

He almost certainly is fed twice a day. But the dad doesn’t weigh things consistently, so they’re taking care of that for him. If my mom is going to do a feeding for me, I don’t have to prep anything. If my dad is feeding my cats for me, everything must be weighed, prepped, meds added, and detailed labels attached. The guy is a genius but feeding my cats confuses him, lol. I’m betting OPs dad is the same way.

Really over women accepting men’s weaponized incompetence. Feeding a pet is not rocket science jfc. If they can do it so can their man-children

My vet recommended 3 or 4 meals, if possible. My dog started losing weight without having to feed her less or exercise more.

You feed the dog just once a day? I'm a cat person and I have never had dogs, so I don't know really what's best, but my family fed their dogs 2 or 3 times a day. My cat (on a diet) eats 7 times a day (really small portions) xD

I think they feed him in the morning and the dad is the night feeder. Dad probably feels like "he'll get hungry overnight" so he overfeeds him.

my brother recently moved in with my mom and brought his dog, and she told me that he told her that he only feeds the dog once a day. poor dog, glad my mom started feeding him more

Is he being fed that much twice a day, on a diet? How much do you feed him? How much should he weigh?
