My dog is picky. Should I feed her once or twice daily for health?

Question

Emma has always been a picky eater no matter what we do. Would it be okay to only feed her once per day or should I continue to try to feed her twice a day? She eats a little more than 1/4 cup of dry food with a spoonful of wet food at each meal. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 2 years and 6 months old

Hello. If Emma seems to do well with a once-daily feeding, then this may be all that she needs. Not all dogs eat twice a day, so as long as she does not seem to be losing weight, once a day is fine. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
