Sorry if this has been asked before:

Kirk has been having problems finishing his food for the last month or so. I ended up having to feed him all of his food at once and then he'd just free feed throughout the day and then there was normally about a cup left over at the end of the day. So today I decided to mix it up and add a raw egg, and he went nuts. It's the first time I've seen him eat all of his food in one sitting since I switched him to the puppy chow he's on now (I think he only ate it that fast then cause it was new). Anyway, when I got home, I was so excited to feed him that I totally forgot about his walk. So now he has already eaten all of his dinner and is sitting here lookin like a pot-bellied pig asking for a walk. Do you guys normally have like a 30 min rule like swimming, or should I just take him now?

i just take river when ever no waiting time for me

Awesome, then I'm just gonna take him. I've been taking him on more and more walks lately. If I ever miss one, or I don't take him when he thinks he needs to go, he punishes me. Normally be eating one of my socks. I'm running out of socks, so I better not cross him

When I walk them before a meal I always wait about 30min or until they've calmed down and they're breathing is back to normal. If I'm walking them after a meal I wait about 20min.

Don't want them puking up their food.

Please be very careful with the socks. You don't want them causing any blockage. We've had a few scares with Kody and socks. Needless to say, I'm the sock patrol now!

we walk then feed

I like to leave a 30min gap between food and exercise for Ghost. It's because he's a large dog and so he would be more at risk of bloat.

I just got back from the walk. I gave him roughly 30 minutes before we went. He did great. He swam, he chased squirrels, and then played with another husky for awhile. No puke. I also immediately went and hid all my socks as soon as I read that post.
