My GSD gets fed twice a day. Brekkie about 8am and supper after his walk, usually about 6-7pm

And feeding after mimics natural behaviour of going out hunting for food then the reward of food.

Mine would eat all day if i left enough tasty food out.

I've heard this too but both my beagles always about 10mins after eating play for a good 10-15mins.. even if you put them in their crate they still roll around pulling each other about,,,

Lab - twice a day - if we left food out for him he wouldn't be able to fit through the door.

A cup of cooked rice and 200gms of James Wellbeloved per meal. Keeps him very lean and shiny!!
