feeding pet doggo

[doodleto]

Is there a specific way to make sure our doggo has eaten. I wish we had a feeding dish for them. I drop meat for them and sometimes they eat and other times the journal continues to show unchecked for eaten.

Seconded. I wish we could use the animal feeders for all the other farm animals.

i put an animal feeder down and filled it with animal feed near my dog kennels and the food went but it doesn't show any dog to have eaten only sheltered and petted.

I've had my best luck tossing meat in front of him. My pet seems to eat every 24 hours. However he doesn't always eat, so I'll keep at it randomly until I go to sleep or the next day. If your pet is under max loyalty with hearts you can keep an eye on it to see if it's increasing to know the food is working.

My biggest problem is that my pet runs away... a lot. Then I have to jump in my chopper to track them down and keep their interest as I lure them back to my main area. Then this little problem makes it really hard to continually feed my pet to get loyalty up. I'd rather be out looking for my illusive yellow fin tuna instead.

I'm not worried though, I know those issues will be handled when the development gets to that stage.

Dogs eat meat, not animal feed, which is corn or seed based.

And they're not picky about what kind of meat.

Fence your town off and they'll be confined. Also, if you have a dog house, they should return to that every night as long as they're within a certain radius I believe.

My animals consistently don't eat before 8am and not after 5pm. Meat I drop for the doggos before 8 doesn't get eaten, only the stuff I drop after 8.
