how old does everyone reckon a pup should be before it can be fed 2 meals a day?

Leo is on 3 at the mo and im not entierly sure how old he should be to start switching him to 2 meals a day

Same here. I did that with Sleet. Gradually cut down on her middle meal and increased the other two a little.

Of course we now have Wren who's still on three meals so I give Sleet a very small amount...enough to go in the palm of one hand...when we feed Wren.

Same with my two. Storm is 3 month old now and has gone onto 3 meals a day. He'll go onto 2 a day at 6mth old. Monty isn't really concerned that Storm gets a meal when he doesn't :)

LOL, sleet is. Very concerned.:D

I normally use the middle meal as a training session for both...wren gets hers from her dish, sleet gets her little bit from the treat pouch. I also use the evening meal as a training session for Wren.

I feed all my dogs three meals a day including my 3 year old! *hide*

As the others said 6 months is the ideal time to change to two meals a day. :D
