I would put her on two meals a day starting at 6 months of age, my dogs still get fed two meals a day, and the youngest one is now a year old

Hi Jenny as I told you, Luna was fed 3 meals when I got her.

From she was 21 weeks she was fed her breakfast and dinner in her bowl, her lunch was given in a buster cube, she had while I was at work

And a week later, we started the cutdown to 2 meals, so I started giving her a bit more morning and evening (taken rom the lunch part) so in the end the lunch amount was shared on morning and evening.

Luna is still fed morning and evening, and I'll continue with this, as I feel better with doing that.

I cut Star down to 2 meals at about 5 months. She began to turn her nose up at the lunchtime feed, so I increased the morning feed and just gave her a few biscuits at lunch and her normal feed about 7pm
