She said that he will eventually let me know how much he needs and this should eventually be one feeding a day as they absorb the nutrients much better with raw food and will not require more as he will be satisfied. Raw diets also result in less poop and smelly poop at that as he is absorbing the nutrients and getting enough protein without the unnecessary carbs/grains they get from commercial foods. |
He's 4lbs and only gets 1oz a day and he's a puppy??? that is not enough food. Mine is 4 1/2 lbs and gets 2-3oz a day and she's a year and a half. Puppies need more food then adults. If you go to the NV website there is a chart there you can fill in and it will tell you their recommended amount to feed.
