Oliver is 4 months old and I only feed him twice a day. I have been doing this since we got him though at 9 weeks old.
Currently we feed Sophie 2 cups of TLC food three times a day; at 6am, around noon, and around 5pm. She is now able to hold her bladder/poop from about 9pm-5:45am so I'm thinking she'd be able to do the same during the day. I spend my whole lunch hour driving home to tend to her (potty break right away, then feeding, then another quick pee break) and drive back. It's getting a bit much and I'm wondering if it's time to switch her schedule. She's 5 months old. Thoughts?
Thank you for your input. Never had a puppy before (obviously lol).

Don't allow your happiness to be interrupted by overly judgmental people. The problem is not you, because even if you do good all the time, they would still find a way to judge you wrongly.

Luna never ate lunch even when it was offered so we switched her to twice a day around 12 weeks.

We switched around 5 months
As per the feeding instructions we got from his breeder at 21 weeks, or 5 months.
Theo was only being fed twice daily until recently. He now gets a morning meal, an evening meal, and a half cup of kibble for bedtime snack to ward off empty stomach puking. Although he doesn't eat at lunch time, I still go home around noon to let him out to potty and play a little before I go back to work for the afternoon.

4 months is fine
We switched to 2 meals at about 6 months but we still go home at lunch time to get the dogs out and give them a little break. They are 2 years old & nearly 5 years old. Personally I think that it'd be a bit unfair to leave them alone for nearly 9 hours.

Ok, thanks...another question that's come up is: at what point do we stop multiplying the recommended serving amount by 3 while she's a puppy? When does she stop being a puppy?
Boy, I feel dumb. lol
