But thanks for the advice guys. I did not know that you were suppose to feed an adult 2 times a day and not 3. I dont give him a ton though. How much would be the right amount? I also have Bella who is about 5 months old, How much should I be feeding her? Thanks all!  |
It matters not only in how much or how often but what are you feeding ? I find many of the people I come in contact with are feeding kibble AND soft food AND treats and other "stuff". I know its done because they " LOVE" that adorable little face that looks at them and begs for all that "JUNK". It would be far better to feed a good high quality kibble and training treats and leave it at that.
My dogs have free choice of Nutro puppy or adult kibble and water at all times and they never overeat and if I say so myself, have great teeth from the dry food.My vet and others constantly ask "How do you get teeth like that?". They get homemade liver treats for training and Yes sometimes just because they have adorable faces
but are never overweight.
Opps-sorry-must be all that coffee I just drank
didn't mean to be so long winded here.
