Most adult dogs may adequately obtain their daily caloric and other nutrient requirements in a once or twice
daily feeding regimen; ideally, I recommend twice daily feeding.
Anson et al. showed that mice on alternate - day fasting
regimen who consume the same amount of food in a 48 - hour period as mice
fed ad libitum, decreased glucose and insulin concentrations to a similar degree as did mice on
daily calorie restriction despite maintained energy intake and body weight (17).
