I love your question because I happen to have a tiny girl!!! I have a 10 pounder and a 5 1/2 pounder but the one in my avatar (Mahli) was already 7 months old or so in that picture and hasn't grown much since. She's now 9 months old and weighs a smidge over 1 1/2 pounds. She's just as much carnivore as the others, has sharp little teeth and eagerly chomps on anything I toss to her. BUT as she is so small, she's just not that strong and tires faster than the others, too. I pound on her meaty bones with my meat tenderizer to make it easier on her or give chicken wings. She also loves to "steal" the things that my other dogs have pre-chewed. It works out that way for us because my pack gets along well and does not fight over food. But since I am very much concerned with her food intake and possible low blood sugar episodes, I substitute her meals with grinds that I prepare myself. I don't like NV because I find that the bone content is too high plus veggies and other junk. (none the less it's a great starter raw food!) That way I know exactly how much she had to eat while also maintaining the positives that come with whole prey consuming!
Here's my little treasure, just for fun!
