Great question! Yes, it does matter when you feed him as feeding him too soon after exercise can lead to bloat (a fatal condition), while walking him too soon after eating can also lead to bloat. I would recommend walking him, and then waiting to feed him for at least 30 minutes to an hour. If you wanted to feed him first, you will need to wait at least an hour before walking him. I hope this helps :-)
