i change the feeding method to twice a day ( 1 and half spoon per time)
but angel seems cant finish the food..
now even worse..
she cant even finish 2 spoon per day
im wondering if is because previously the time btw for her to eat is too long that makes her too hungry and jst finish the food which they feed?
or there is something wrong with her?
everytime i feed her, there will be about 15 kibbles left
i don't think she is too full cause if i hand feed her,
she will eat it playfully

thanks for any feed back  |
You've gotten some great advice, just wanted to say your little baby is so beautiful, what a sweetheart. Puppies go through growth spurts, and some days/weeks/months, they will eat more than others, as they get closer to full grown, they need less than they did when they were growing new muscles and bones. Some breeders feed only once a day, but leave food out all day, and the puppy can eat anytime she gets hungry, this is called free-feeding, and some people recommend you do this until about 8 months of age. In this way, the puppy can eat whenever she gets hungry. Any food left from the day before is thrown out, and fresh food is replaced each day.
