Some days Jamie is very active and very hungry. Other days not so much. I think it's up to you. You may just want to get some healthy snack to supplement with like yogurt or veggies. Jamie's loves the baby carrots and fruit. |
He gets a lot of snacks throughout the day (usually Yogurt Drops, Yorkie Yummies, Buddy Buscuits), but I never thought about giving him veggies. Next time I'll have to share some baby carrots with him

i will say miss b gets lots of treats throughout the day and bully sticks every day as well. as far as leftovers go, i have never had leftovers LOL 
she is a year and a half and about 3.6lbs hope that helps! |
Ohh ok, I originally thought that you peiced off a section of a third medallion to make it equal more than 2oz, which is why I asked what you did with the leftover peice lol. Thanks for clearing that up!

It just doesn't
look like a whole lot of food, does it? My family has always been like "I can't believe that's all you feed him...how can that be enough?"
Good to know it's a normal amount though
