Too bad you feel this way but maybe if you wish to be that sarcastic (??) I was being honest. Stating my opinion. you could send your response privately. This is a public forum - I chose to answer publicly. As it turns out, what Elaine says is true. Drastic temperature changes ie: going from cold to very hot or vice versa is not good for the animal.(or people) Would be interested in where this information comes from. Particularly double coated dogs, its just takes them a bit longer to regulate changes in body temp. I don't think the correlation between temps and feeding dogs is there, so the comment about the dogs getting used to bieng hungry was not warranted. Your opinion. Just because someone "owns" dogs doesn't make them an expert either. I didn't claim to be an expert. You probably have no reason not to share those things with your dogs, but not everyone lives like you- and respecting other peoples opinions and posts is just common courtesy. Does that pertain to you also? Or only to me.
