I am still leaving the dry food out all the time and they tend to "graze" throughout the day. I was so petried in the beginning about low blood sugar because I had one it happened to that I had to syringe feed for five days, that I would do "anything" to get them to eat. I probably didn't have to do that with Hefner becasue he has always eaten well from the day we brought him home. I hate to admit it now but he was so spoiled that I cooked him chicken everyday and he wouldn't eat unless I hand fed him or used a fork!!! The wet food ia actually really bad for their teeth and most vets recommend kibble only because chewing it removes the tartar from their teeth.
When he reached about 5 months and was over 2 lbs., I finally quit all that and he eats the dry kibble just fine. I never give him wet food and anymore and he only gets chicken if we are out somewhere and I have nothing else to feed him.
I also put the cat food up out of his reach because it is not good for dogs. It is too rich and has too much protein in it. |
