Dog Feeding Schedule (Free Printable)

A one-page pet feeding chart: seven days by two meal slots (AM and PM), each with a checkbox and a portion line to write in, one labeled example row, a water check tracker with 4 circles a day, an 8-row treats log, and a vet info box for the clinic details. Print it, stick it on the fridge, and stop relying on memory for who fed the dog and when. No email, no sign-up, print it as-is.

How to use the chart: write a time and a portion in each slot, for example "7:15, 1 cup". Copy your vet's portion guidance onto the example row once, then every person in the house works off the same numbers. Tick the box only after the bowl is emptied, because a tick means a person confirmed the meal, and that is how a household finds out the dog has been getting breakfast twice.

Before you start: this is a tracking tool, not veterinary advice. How much and how often to feed depends on your dog's age, size, and health, so ask your vet what fits your dog. The example row is a fill-in demo, not a recommendation.

The Weekly Feeding Log

Two slots a day, seven days. Monday is filled in as a labeled example; the rest is yours.

Reading the example row: the AM line holds a clock time and the portion your vet or the food packaging gives you. The checkboxes exist for the household, not the dog. Two adults and a teenager all assuming someone else did the 7:15 feed is the most common way a schedule on paper becomes no schedule in the kitchen.

Water Check Tracker

Mark one circle each time you check or top up the bowl. Four checks a day covers morning, midday, evening, and bedtime.

Treats log

Eight rows for the week. The why column earns its space. "Training" and "because he asked" read very differently at the end of the week, and the second one is usually the reason the treat bag emptied early.

4 Tips for a Feeding Routine That Sticks

  1. Same times, on purpose. A meal at 7:15 turns into a 7:15 reminder within a week, and the reminder does not care whether it is a workday. Pick times you can keep on the busiest day of the week, not the calmest one.
  2. One person owns each slot. "We alternate" sounds fair on Sunday and collapses by Thursday, when everyone assumes someone else did the PM meal. Assign the AM slot to one name and the PM slot to another, and the chart becomes a record instead of an argument.
  3. Log treats the same day. A treats row takes ten seconds at the time and never gets reconstructed from memory two days later. The rows you skip are the ones that would have explained the week, so write them while the treat is still in the dog.
  4. Refill the sheet Sunday night. A fresh log with the times and portions already copied over takes one minute and removes the last excuse to skip a day. Sheets that start the week blank are the sheets that end the week blank.
