It probably totals 1/3 cup per day.
I can tell that she feels much better..... she has lost 1 pound!!  |
'Ryoko is the exact same way. I do the exact same thing you do.
Ryko weighed 10-11 lbs when i got him in November. 2 months ago he weighed 9.7 lbs. I finally started measuring out his food 1/8 in the morning, 1/8 in the around 3pm and a few kibble at night to treat him and keep him up on his obedience skills. before i would give him what i though was i /4 of a cup a day which was not at all right plus treats. He also paws at me when he knows its time to eat, if i ignore him he barks once and sits and looks at me like he is crazy, no like i am crazy. He is prolly like !@% give me my food! and I imagine the voice in his head when he is thinking it sounds like Dave Chapell
anyways he is now 8.2 lbs which is far from where he was when i got him . Next week i will take him to get his teeth pulled and neutered and i will see what his weight is when they check him in.
I wish i could put myself on that kind of a diet and get good results, really its not a diet its just eating healthy!
