What do i feed a Doberman Pinscher?

Question

how many times

Answer 1

Hi, I feed my Dobies Natural Balance by Dick Van Patten. Most people feeds their dogs twice a day,but I keep their bowls full all day, everyday. They have been feed this way since they were pups, and no they are not over weight.

Answer 2

I feed my big red Doberboy twice a day, about 1 1/2 cups in the morning and 1 1/2 cups around dinnertime. The thing about splitting the meals is a) not to feed too much at a time, avoiding "bloat" or gastric torsion; also b) how would you like to eat only once a day? LOL

My boy is kinda chunky, so I feed him Iams large breed "diet" food. He has also done well on the Costco/Kirkland brand of lamb and rice dry kibble, which is much less expensive and has the same ingredients in the same order as some of the more "premium" brands. I lean toward the kibble because it's a little better for his teeth.

Is your Dobe a puppy or a grown dog? Because that can make a difference too.

Answer 3

A good quality dry kibble that meets AAFCO standards at a minimum and designed for a large breed dog. There are lots of debate on the best brands. Don't buy supermarket foods.

Twice a day is typical. Use the amounts suggested by the food manufacturer for your dog's weight and adjust as needed if your dog's weight goes up or down. Don't free-feed (leave food available all the time). This leads to fat dogs and possible rodent problems.

Answer 4

It depends on the dog's size and weight and how often it is use to eating. Dogs can do just fine eating once per day, my dog was fed once a day, just before we sat down for dinner. But give the dog, dog food. You can make homemade dog food, but do not feed the dog table scraps.

According to Purina, a dog that weighs over 100 pounds should be provided with about 4 1/2 cups of food per day.

Answer 5

Innova Evo or another high quality brand and I would say 3 small meals a day because they are deep chested dogs that are prone to bloat.

Answer 6

Purina Pro-Plan, 2 times a day
