 Advice on food
Juliamaree
My yorkie which is 6.4lbs eats a half a cup a day of human grade dry dog food.
Poops twice a day and is healthy. I give her a 1/4 cup in the morning and another 1/4c after our supper and the vet said she is chunky so I may have to cut that portion down. During the day I give her nibblets of her supper portion as treats. Treats can fill up a pup and small dog very quickly. so if she is in training you might even skip dinner and use her supper as training treats.
If she is 6mnths she probably needs half of that. Depends on her weight. I used to overfeed my girl thinking it was so little food and she started to snub the food. I wonder why? She was stuffed from the day before!
I hope that helps.
Also I prefer dog food to food off the table as it's balanced.. for them especially in such small quantities how could they get a proper balance. Also if you cook with onions, that's not good for them, nor is many of our spices and food so you could be damaging her digestive system instead of treating her well.
In dog food though I use human grade dog food now.
Also it's pretty hard to switch back and forth and confusing to the dog. What do you think she'd pick dry or food from your plate? As long as they get dry all the time they don't care. To get her back to dog food. Put her food on the table where your eating and when your done give her the food and she'll think it's from your plate she'll be excited over the dry just as much.
Fromm, origen, wellness. you do some research. Keep away form wheat and corn fillers they cause the most allergies.
Hope that helps. |
