I store open cans of wet food in the fridge. Thank goodness for creative minds because now, pet stores (PetCo, Petsmart, etc) sell plastic can toppers. Thy cost somewhere around a dollar each. They are typically one size fits all and with the ones I have, there are two options built in for one top. I spoon out what I need and store the rest of the can in the fridge until the next feeding. You can also put saran wrap on top of the can but I personally think the plastic topper has a much better seal. I use it until the can is done, then throw it in the dishwasher with the rest of my dishes for easy clean-up. You can se it over and over.
As far as what to do with mixed dry and wet, I toss what Scooter hasn't finished. You will get a better idea of how much food your baby needs as time goes on. Yorkies don't eat much compared to other dogs so please be sure you are feeding high quality food to your babies. That will also change the amount of food they need to eat. Good luck and be patient. Your babies are also adjusting to your home so they may not eat much for the first few days. Have some NutriCal on hand in case you need it. Scooter loved it and it helped him stay energized in the beginning while adjusting to my home. |
