Feeding 3 times to 2 times

What age do you switch feeding your puppy 3 times a day to 2 times a day? Also, if you are home during the day to feed the "lunch" meal, would it be safer to feed 3 times a day to help prevent bloat?

Thanks!

I think Desmond was somewhere around 8 or 10 months when I switched his feeding schedule. It got to be too much for him to eat in the morning, again at lunch, and again at dinner. He was never hungry, and wouldn't finish his meals because he was eating too often. So that's why I switched, it helped a lot. I just keep him from running around like a crazy maniac after he eats/drinks to keep him from barfing or potential bloat. :)

Thanks for responding. I don't mind feeding her 3 times a day, especially if it is safer. The only problem is that there is a lot of limiting active play time b/c of the middle meal. Twice a day would make a big difference. She is 13 weeks.
