1 meal per day they hv 2 starve very long ler..
if two meals per day, feed bout 9am den 9pm?
i owez feed like 10am 3pm 10pm.

Hmmm well...i think the feeding time will be something like what u mention . which is 9am and then 9pm ?
well mine will be 7:30am and 7:30pm-8pm .

ohya Jaunty feed ur 2 furkid 3 meals a day ya right ?

ya..
i sked they hungry, samor xun-xun still young, gonna take her 3rd jab soon.
still puppy dowan let her take 2 meals 1st, i sked she kenot tahan. if i feed oni xun-xun, jack-jack will get jealous..
so mustwell feed both 2gether.

Yes.... the best is 2 meals... but you will have to follow how much your dog eats... like say normally you give 1 cup a day.... so you divide, become half cup morning and half cup night. That is better.

Dogs that eat too fast can suffer from bloat or twisted stomach.... I think bloat is more common.... they gulp the food but gulp air also, causing the stomach to balloon with air... can be very uncomfortable. This is common with boxers.... well, my Tammy and Toby eat got their own table so their food bowl not on the floor... this makes bloat less likely to happen.... but dunno true or not since I read in 1 of the dog books I have.

okay , get the idea. Yeap , i got divide it , that better after i ask u this matter , cuz i been wonder many days is that really necessary that i must give 1 meals per day 18 month onward ? i dun feel this is all right .

wah..Tammy and Toby got own table to eat their own meals. this is Cool.

ahahah...not really a table... is those basket stand to put flower pots wan... I bought 2 so can fit their bowls.... coz the ones for dogs are so expensive heheheh.

Hehehe , Really ? That wan consider a table to Tammy and Toby already
dog's table will cost roughly how much ? maybe other country only selling doggy's table ya right ?

Yah... to elevate their food bowl but this is normally for tall dogs lah...







You see those for sale, sure over RM50 to maybe RM100... get the one for flower pot only like RM25...

icic..
but if ur dog gulps food, u cant let them use elevated dog feeder bowls..cos it'll let them gulp in more air..

wah Hun , that is nice , i mean urs wan which is the one for flower pot
reasonable price and nice !!!
Thanks for the picture , i never see that before ..
cuz i got numbers of friend got large breed dogs, but there didnt make a dog table for their large breed dog .
so if let's say a tall dog and a dog food bowl put at floor , is that ok for a large breed dog ?

da elevator food bowl thingy..
oni can b used for larger breed dogs?
taller ones?

"Elevated feeders may help reduce intestinal gas in dogs. Eating bent over forces dogs to gulp their food. In the process, the dogs swallow more air. This air can end up as foul-smelling gas a while later. The higher the food dish, the less gulping. In rare instances, swallowing an increased amount of air may result in a condition called bloat (gastric dilatation and volvulus - GDV). This occurs most commonly in large breed dogs, and is life-threatening. Some veterinarians recommend elevated feeders for dogs susceptible to bloat, although the benefits are not clear."

Added on July 11, 2007, 11:14 pm"Elevated Dog Dish

An elevated dog dish is a good choice for anyone with a large breed of dog. An elevated dog dish may help your large dog digest his food better. There are different opinions on this topic, but many veterinarians and owners of large breed dogs agree that there seems to be a lower instance of bloat and other digestive problems when an elevated dog dish is used. If you opt for an elevated dog dish, there are many different types and styles from which to choose.

Some dog owners opt to use an elevated dog dish because it seems more comfortable for their large breed to eat that way. Others do so out of fear of the dog developing bloat. For dogs that are at risk for bloat, which includes most giant-sized and many large-sized breeds, there are other precautions that should be taken either in addition to or instead of feeding your dog from an elevated dog dish. One of the most important things is to ensure that your dog stays relatively calm for about one hour before and one hour after feeding. It is especially important not to allow your dog to engage in vigorous exercise immediately after eating. "

ya bout da water thingy, tap water or boiled water?
mineral water ok?

Chelsea got furry feet... but very fast black when bring her out kai kai ahahah. Anyway, many people cut away the fur on the paws.... but I think the fur makes her look cuter loh... especially when she slap my face while I sleep.

I found that kinda bowl before... for cocker spaniels but then made of plastic... I prefer stainless steel.

Yah, there are many interesting things in the dog world... like the head halter... see before? It helps to control dogs that always pull and misbehave while bring out walking.

Added on July 11, 2007, 11:26 pmYah... everyday I change her water twice... no choice loh since she don't wanna use bottle.

I use filter water... my home got double filter... those large tall outdoor filter and indoor filter... so water clean lah, can use.... Boiled or mineral is ok... but then mineral water can cause more tear stains...
