Feed before or after walks ?

i always feed bax before the walk. fill the tank.... empty the tank =P

 

I feed mine an hour or so before a walk.

 

Mine only eat after a walk,mind you theres dried food left down all day. They never touch it,they only eat if I'm here with them.

 

After the walk - Harri isn't interested in breakfast until he's worked up an appetite.

 

Mine get fed after a walk as they have a 90 min offlead walk every morning and i would be worried they would get bloat ...
I couldn't walk on a full stomach

 

Any breed cross breed of dog can suffer from bloat it is just more common in deep chested dogs ...
My friend lost her young jack russell to bloat last year ...she had always fed her dog before a walk despite being advised not to ...

 

Murphy is fed after his morning walk.. We go out early and walk for 1-2 hours although if we are off on an adventure we take a light breakfast with us that he can have when we stop for a cuppa.

 

I take mine for a walk first, then after half an hour's rest she gets fed. I don't have time at the moment to feed her first and then wait an hour before taking her for a walk, so this is why I do it this way. But when it starts to get darker in the morning I will probably switch it around.

 

I've done both. Sometimes before, sometimes after. Rox doesn't mind. As far as I know you can do either as long as you leave about an hour or so between feeding and walking.

 

I've heard people say they prefer to feed after because the dog feels like it worked for the food, as they would in the wild.

 

Mine are fed at7am then walked at 9.30am just how ive always done it, as long as they get an hour after eating.

 

Yes when it gets dark I'm going to be interested to see whether eating an hour before her walk makes Piccolo's scavenging lessen!

 

That's a good point @JudyN about scavenging, although I'm sure Rox scavanges just as much whether she's eaten or not! She's a greedy bugger! Lol
