Maybe I am doing it wrong, but I have never rationed Oscar's food. I leave it down all the time and he eats when he wants to. I am home with him all the time tho and you guys might have your dogs on a schedule in a effort to make potty training easier. We used to raise American Bulldogs and free fed them to keep them from gobbling too fast and causing bloat. It seemed to work for them, so I feed Oscar the same way. He is 4 months old now and weighs 3.5 pounds. My vet said he should weigh in at 6 pounds when full grown. I feed him a mix of Science Diet and Royal Canin and he loves it. He does get crunchy tiny bones as treats and about three times a week, he gets a few pieces of his favorite...frosted cheerios. We gave them to him to keep his sugar up as a tiny pup and he still loves them from time to time. You can just say the word "cheerios" and he goes nuts! |
