Lol! I wouldn't mind doing this, except our Lil Miss Maggy May would become a Lil Miss Piggy or a Lil Miss Rolly Polly
She's got a very good appetite! I'm finally after 4 years switching Mags to the adult version of her food, the puppy food (even adjusted) was putting to much weight on her. I had to keep her on puppy food though cause the last time I tried to switch her over, she ended up at the vets in the ICU with IV's in her
Doc said some dogs just can't handle the change in food. It got to where I had adjusted her food down so much though to try and get some weight off her that the poor girl was hardly getting much at all to eat and would whine and cry for food way before it was time for her to eat again. I'm currently VERRRRRYYY SLOWLY switching them both over to Wellness Super 5 Mix Adult Health For Small Breeds. Mags has been on the Wellness her whole life and even though tryin to switch her back years ago to the adult blend, I did it slowly and she just couldn't handle it. So now, I'm doing it with a whole bag, which will probably take over a month to do. So far, so good. Hopefully when it's all said and done, Mags will be able to get more food (cause the adult version doesn't have as many calories) and she won't be hungry before it's time to eat again. If I free feed, I know Mags will gobble it all up and gain to much weight
