I just don't want to underfeed her, and like I said, based on recommendation it's just over 2 1/2 per day. I guess I"ll have to play with it like you did. Just don't want her going hungry (or getting fat) in the meantime!
I'm sorry - I told you I would have a million questions! You might regret ever responding to this thread!  |
I don't mind
! I had a zillion questions when I switched to raw, everyone does. I'd say my guys are of average activity. We can rarely go for walks this time of year (summer in AZ) but we do try to have fetch session indoors and they do play together. I was actually thinking Marcel might need to go down to 1 medallion per meal bc he's feeling a bit chubbers, just a bit. But yes, you sort of have to start somewhere and then go off of how they feel. The raw is SO nutrient dense - so it's odd (for us) to get used to feeding them such a small volume and feeling okay with it. So, I'd probably go with NV's recommendations - and then see how her ribs feel - plus you could always free feed a bit of kibble too, if you like.
