| Feeding Guidance Hello all you yorkie lovers,
I just got my 18 wk old baby, Youkie, about 2 weeks ago. I switched his food to Iams Smart Puppy Proactive health (dry). The first week when I mixed the new with his previous food (Biljac), he seemed to like it.
Now after 2 days of eating Iams alone, mixed with a little water (2 tblsp) he doesn't seem to eat as well. At night I mix his food with a 1/2 tsp of crushed pinapples (told this was a good deterent for stopping him from eating his poop). He eats this portion a little better, until he's gotten all the pinapples out.
I feed him according to the weight guide on the packaging, 1 1/2 cup a day ( 1/2 cup 3x a day) and he only eats about 1/4 cup each feeding... if that. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any and all help you can provide, regarding the appropriate amount to feed, mixing the dry food with water, adding the pinapples to the food, etc. Khree |
