He really loves his medium rated food, and has been thriving on it, he's very healthy and never has gas, vomiting or diarrhea, or any allergy problems, but I think much of this is due to his genetics, not the food. My point is that you should try to find a healthy food, but it will do little good if they won't eat it. On the other hand, a small 2 pounder doesn't need that much food, and perhaps, she's just isn't hungry. If she goes 24 hours without eating, I'd want to find a food she likes better, and you might want to measure how much you give her so you can see for sure how much she is eating. |
Thanks nancy, I had never thought of sprinkling cheese...great idea. Yes, im sure i worry more then i need too. I am so used to my other dogs eatting habits,as she was a piggy, Star however is a a nibbler. I have tried so many foods, and she does the same every time...loves it at first, then snubs it. I guess as long as i see she is thriving i have no need to be worried, just my nature/lol Im sure if there is a problem after seeing vet,i will know. Thanks again,Kris & Star
