My dog knows exactly when it's feeding time. At the exact same time every day he points to his bowl and then to his canister of food. "Master it's scoop time! 1 scoop please".
It's just before dinner time for them right now. My dogs tell time by mealtime, playtime and walk time. They also know when it's veterinarian time because they always try to disappear on the morning of their appointments then they don't want to get in the car.

Assuming the idea that one human year is seven dog years, every hour to us works out to 7 hours for a dog. 1 day for us, 24 hours of human time, is 7 days in dog time. So 168 / 24 = 7 dog hours for every human hour. So here, that would make it 7 pm in a dog's lifespan. But in a dog's mind it would probably be "when-o'clock?" to dinner or walkies time.
All my days are divided into dog time. Sleep-time, mealtime, potty-time, recreation-time. Right now, I'm watching a squirrel through the window and barking my head off.
