What's the best way to feed my dog: once or twice a day?

Question

What's better to feed a dog once or twice daily and why? Pet's info: Dog | Cavalier King Charles Spaniel | Female | spayed | 6 years and 4 months old | 17 lbs

Twice a day feedings are best for several reasons. Dogs thrive on routine and it is easier to spot potential if they skip a meal or don't come running at meal time. It is easier to change diets since a dog will expect food, regardless of type, at the appointed time. A dog's stomach will send "hunger signals" after about 10 hours of being empty. This will stimulate the hunger response.
