(She gets about 1/3 cup kibble twice a day)
She was over last night and didn't have any kibble so mixed up the rice cereal and put in some chicken with a pinch of parmesan cheese on top. Ate it right up! Now this morning the report is she turned her nose up at the food.
Bright side, no vomiting of the food since Saturday night.
She is due to be "kenneled" (use the term loosely since woman only takes small dogs and allows overnight stays for 3 in her home) in February and it would be nice to have this sort of figured out so that we can give best instructions.
Once again, thanks for all the responses. You all are the best! |
Glad to hear the vomiting has stopped. Could be that she doesn't want to eat early in the day. Britster's Jackson is a very active boy, but he doesn't like eating before noon. Dinner is his big meal.
Grazing is fine. My younger boy was a grazer for a long time.
Keep in mind that the more "human" food (non-kibble) or treats you give, the less interest the dog will have in the kibble. Dogs are smart. They will hold out for the "good" stuff. As I wrote before, dogs require a balanced diet otherwise they will become very sick. If you decide to homecook for the dog, make sure you do your homework.
I don't recall if you indicated how much your girl weighs, so I'm not sure about 2/3 cups a day.
