I'm thinking she might sleep longer, if I gave them a later meal...And don't even think about feeding that 5:30 p.m. meal later, 'cause she starts "cuttin' up" about 5, and doesn't stop 'till I feed her...By cuttin up, I mean, she beats everybody up, 'cause she's getting hungry and irritable (I think lol)...After supper, she settles down...Actually, I tried Acana (which I think is the best on the planet, and they all seemed to struggle w/it, and don't think they really liked it...I'm only doing solid gold, because they all love it...I'll try Fromm...They didn't like NV instinct, either ...You're right, this food conundrum is a hot topic w/these little guys lol...

Holy moly! 4:30am?! LOL. If Jackson even gets up at 7am (which is rare) I just tell me him to lay back down LOL. And he will for another hour or so. It seems miss Apple has just gotten into a routine... when she wakes up at 4:30, have you always gotten up and fed her, or let her out, etc? You can always re-train a dog to your schedule. Unless getting up at 4:30 isn't a big deal for you of course. I honestly only feed Jackson once a day (with kibble and wet). He gets 1/2 cup of Acana mixed with wet and about 3 mornings a week, he gets 2 Primal nuggets for breakfast. He's not interested in eating more than that.
