So I think that's why she sometimes wouldn't eat (she never gained a lot of weight or anything) but she would stop eating sometimes....probably because she was not hungry!! Also, I bought some coconut chips at Whole Foods (in the dried fruit area) and she LOVES them so I sprinke some of those in her food and she eats it right away now!!! |
This is what I have been doing 1/4 cup in the morning,with the coconut oil, which he loves & eats most of. And then I give him 1/4 cup again for supper, which he will not even touch unless I sort of force him to eat. Plus at 2:30 or 3 pm he gets a snack of 2 little dog biscuits. So my dh was right...I am feeding him too much & he just isn't hungry. (oh...I hate being wrong!!!!)
