I notice a lot of folks are feeding grain-free diets. Is that because of allergies & itching, or some other reason?
I'm feeding my 4-1/2 lb. Zoey 2 tablespoons of Wellness Small Breed and one of those tiny Mother Hubbard peanut butter crunchy bones in the AM and the same 2 tablespoons of kibble at night, mixed with a teaspoon of canned Wellness Chicken & Sweet Potato. Nothing is grain-free entirely, and the bones have wheat in them.
She is itchy and is licking her paws some. I was thinking it was her new outdoor environment...she was almost entirely indoors until we adopted her. Could it be the grains causing her itchiness instead?
She was chubby when she came to us on March 26, and has actually gained about 3/8 lb. since! I just can't believe we're feeding her too much...plus she's getting a ton of exercise she never had before.
Are bully bones fattening? She loves them & goes thru a 6-1/2" one every 2 or 3 days... The manufacturers are quite cagey about the amount of fat in them...using that cute "not less than" bit.
Geez...sorry...I was only going to ask about grains, honest.
