4. Feeding Dogs

---A. Coin Dog

The Red Border Collie needs to be feed every 24 hours for 14 days or he will run away and find himself in the pound, there you can buy him back from 3 Farmcash. You feed it Puppy Kibble that can be gifted.

As you can see it says 'Hungry in 14:20'. That means that this puppy can be feed in 14 hours and 20 minutes. After that time is up, another 24 hour countdown starts:

This time he's counting how long he's staying! You have 24 hours after he's hungry to feed him or else he's off! In total, you have 43 hours and 59 Minutes to feed your dog or else he will run away.

The first time you feed your puppy, is the time it will be hungry everyday! See this example:

First Feeding: You feed at 3:00 PM

Second Feeding: Your dog is hungry at 3:00 PM, but you don't feed him till 6:00 PM

Third Feeding: Your dog is hungry at 3:00 PM, and you feed him at 3:00 PM.
You cannot change the time your dog is hungry everyday. Although you can feed him at different times.

---B. Farmcash Dogs

The Farmcash dogs are a lot more simpler when feeding! When you buy a Farmcash dog, you get 14 Bags of Puppy Kibble with it, that means you don't need any kibble from your friends! You can feed them once every 24 hours, but if you forget 1 day to feed them they will not run away! They'll stick to your side even if your a terrible owner.
