Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Hello all!! I am wondering when is a good time to start transitioning our guy to 2x per day feeding, and if it's now, any tips on how to do it safely/without ending up with a super cranky pooch.
Mox will be 7 months next week and is around 43#. We have been feeding him 1 cup of TOTW puppy pacific 3x per day. He used to GOBBLE his food but has relaxed some...when I say relaxed I mean he went from inhaling it in 30 seconds to taking a leisurely 2-3 minutes...
Probably unnecessary....but if it will help the "How?" advice.... Our schedule now is typically: 6am breakfast 11:30-12 lunch 4pm long walk/dog park 6pm dinner
Short walks/potty breaks are thrown in after breakfast and dinner and the final let out is somewhere between 9:30-11
Thank you in advance!! |

| Is Mox picking at his food, not finishing? If so then he is probably ready to go to twice a day. Tho I would say many huskies get their last major growth spurt between 7 and 8 months old, so you may have to wait just a tad bit longer. Best indicator is not finishing meals, picking at meals, or just not eating certain meals, typically the lunch meal. |

| No, he is definitely still a hungry hippo and finishing all of his meals. I have a feeling he might be on the slower side of development (my totally non expert opinion)...he was the last of his litter to have his ears go up and he hasn't tried lifting a leg yet (though I understand he just might not).
Would it be a terrible thing developmentally to start playing with the distribution of food? i.e. give 1.25 cups at breakfast, .5 cups at lunch, 1.25 cups at dinner? |

| You can switch it up some it will help transitioning him to the 2 meals a day. Just watch for any poop issues.  He sure is handsome <3 |
