No expert here but my Tootsie is a little over 6 months old and weighs 6lbs. We free feed her~whenever her bowl is empty I fill it up!!! She is young though and very energetic as well!!
Our vet told us that she is very healthy looking and there are no issues with her weight. As of now...
We only give Tootsie treats when we are training~and sometimes in her pink puppy kong..We did the puppy training classes and our trainer advised us to be careful with the treats because there stomachs are so small that one or two treats a day may spoil her diet...She is sooo adorable though sometimes we can't help it~especially when we open the pantry door and she sits there patiently waiting
!!!
His advice to us was that you should not be able to see the ribs
!! Also, to watch for a bloating look in her belly, if that starts to happen cut her food down...
I'm sure you will find that you may get alot of different opinions~but this is works best for us for now...Good luck to you and your furbaby!!
