Correct!

The answer is: A meal

The term prandial means "of or relating to a meal"1.

This word is derived from the Latin "prandium", meaning late breakfast or lunch. It now refers to any meal; breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack2.

It is possible to have a post-prandial digestive obstruction or stomach ache. If a pet is overweight, more post-prandial may be in order! (Note: Post prandial walks or other exercises must be done with caution, since it is not healthy for pets or humans to exercise on a full stomach. It is best to wait a couple of hours after a meal to exercise.)
