How many meals should a golden retriever feed throughout the day?

Golden Retriever (Definite Introduction)

It is recommended to feed three meals a day for small golden retrievers, and one or two meals a day for larger golden retrievers. Since then, pet experts have recommended that dog owners adopt the concept of punctuality and rationing.

They believe that dogs six months old go through two stages similar to human infancy and adolescence. They are born due to unhealthy gastrointestinal digestion functions, and four months later due to rapid growth and nutritional calorie requirements. Therefore, it is recommended that golden retrievers should be fed three meals a day. This view is common among trainers and experts. As for adult dogs, pet experts believe that if you don’t eat when meal time comes, gastric acid will still penetrate, which will cause gastrointestinal diseases such as gastric ulcers in the long run. Therefore, it is recommended to eat two meals a day, and eat them on time.

However, dog trainers believe that one meal a day is enough. They believe that the physical principles of dogs and humans are fundamentally different. Even if a wild dog has a good meal once every three days or a week, it still maintains a strong spirit. Another view of golden retriever breeding is: as long as our pet dogs are fed a certain amount of food every day, they will be able to eat a good meal every day. It will not make the dogs hungry at all.

The dog trainer also came up with some interesting and somewhat reasonable opinions, introducing the purpose of one meal a day, so that owners who are full of affection for their dogs can accept: First, if you only eat one meal a day, Dogs will become greedy during the second meal, because golden retrievers sometimes develop a bad habit, that is: even if they don’t eat in the morning, they can still eat in the evening. However, when only one meal is provided a day, if the dog does not eat, there will be nothing else to eat that day, so the dog can develop the habit of eating well. When taking out the dog food, if it gulps it down in one go, the feeding task will become quick and simple.

The second point is the problem of defecation. As long as the dog eats, it will defecate. If the dog is fed two meals, the second defecation control must be carried out. In other words, it is easier to control bowel movements when you only eat one meal a day. Haha, do you think that is unreasonable? I think if your dog is not so hungry that his legs are dizzy and he vomits stomach acid, you might as well give it a try. The method of raising golden retrievers recommended by experts: "One bite method". Finally, experts also taught everyone a "one-bite meal method" to train golden retriever dogs' compliance. The trick is to use empty cutlery and put a mouthful of dog food in it. Put a dog leash on the dog. When the golden retriever wants to eat the dog food, gently tighten the dog leash so that the dog can maintain the waiting state, which is equivalent to treating the dog.Say "Wait a minute", then say "Okay" after a few seconds, and at the same time loosen the leash so that the dog can eat, and continue to repeat the above process to feed the dog one meal.

In this way, our beloved golden retriever can experience that it is the owner who is feeding it, so it must have its own clothes and food.
