Uneaten food should not be left around for more than 30 minutes.  lf you feed only one or two dogs, removing the uneaten food within 30 minutes should offer no problem.  You should begin to pick up the food containers just as soon as you have completed feeding the last dog.  Pick up the feeding containers in the same order that they were put down.  Don’t get in such a hurry to get them, however, that you forget to record each dog’s food intake.

Dogs should have regular elimination times.  Dogs that are kept in relatively close confinement should be taken out for eliminations immediately after feeding.  This will establish a regular pattern.  Such a pattern promotes regular eliminations, stimulates better digestion, and increases food utilization. Perhaps equally important from the multiple dog owner’s viewpoint is the fact that a regular elimination time allows you to keep your dog well-trained to know when it is time to go, and without having accidents inside.
