| Feeding 2.3 oz. of raw food The feeding calculator says Apple should have 2.3 oz. per day...I'm having trouble thinking about trying to cut 1/3 of a medallion and then cutting that piece in 1/2 between two meals ...I know I'm being ridiculous, but if anyone else has had this dilemma, what did you do lol...Right now I'm just giving 2 medallions a day, and then some cut up steamed veges (carrots or green beans) in between and for treats... p.s...plz don't tell me to "get a life", because Apple is my life |

If it were me, I'd probably feed 2.5 - which means, I'd feed 1 1/4 medallion per meal. I don't like 1/3rds when it comes to medallions...

| Ann...if we ever have a best responder or best supporter award on this site, you'd be the winner!!! No matter how absurd the question seems, you always support us w/an answer or response And you know what, I think your answer makes good sense...I can deal w/the half thing, better than the third thing lol...If she seems to start gaining weight, I'll cut out the extra 1/2 and go back on more green beans...thanks p.s...Apple just gave you a high five |

| HAHAHA. This made me giggle. I SO think the same thing when I'm spending hours cutting 4lbs of pork liver into weekly portions.

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | raw food How much doea apple weigh? Where did you see a food calulator? My biewer is 17 weeks old and weighs 2.14. Lbs. How much should I be feeding? I give Priscilla 1 medallion plus all the nv instinct she wants, which isn,t much, she will only eat a couple of bites of the kibble but O, how she loves those medallions, like a piggy. |

I am so glad I switch my dogs to raw meat. It make meal time so much more special for me and for them. I like to hand feed them and do some training in the same time. Make them do a trick for a piece of turkey wigs... I feed some NV but mostly organic meat for the local farmer market. Tom Pouce that always been so tiny at 3.8lbs is now up to 4.3 lbs. One of their favorite is fresh chicken hearts and gizzards. It cost very little and they go crazy for those. I feed it to them 1-2 a week. | |
