How many times do you feed your puppy?

Cooper has been eating three meals a day ever since I got him. He becomes more picky about the dog food he eats as he gets older. I therefore changed adding some veggies to the dog meal. He has been refusing to eat during lunchtime for the past month, therefore feeding him twice a day is the best course of action. I first had a lot of concerns about this. After doing some research, I discovered that puppies can start eating twice a day at 6 months and older. As Cooper will turn eight months two days after, it appears there is a pattern.
How do you handle your dog or puppy when it's time to eat?

We do not have dogs now but we used to feed wet feed once and the dry feed would be there for them to nibble whenever they felt like

I have a cat. I feed him wet food in the morning, and he has dry food he can nibble on for the rest of the time.

@Shavkat We switch things up where we can to keep Chilly healthy and keep him from getting bored.

@kaylachan I am glad that your kitty cat is not choosy when being fed. Cooper does not like wet food. I tried a couple of times, but he just choose some of them.

@wolfgirl569 I also do that with the adult dog here. She stays outside. I must say that I do not have a problem with her.

When I was growing up, we had dogs that lived inside with us and some that lived outside only... The inside dogs got fed when we ate but the outside dogs got fed morning and evening. Sometimes the inside dogs would eat three meals and sometimes they weren't interested in lunch. *shrug*
