We currently have a yorkie/pomeranian mix at our house (which will be my parent's dog once I move out) but of course I'm helping with all the training since I went through it once already with Sasha. Noah is eating twice a day. We were feeding him 3 meals but my parents were having issues with him waking up in the middle of the night having to poop so we eliminated the 3rd meal and the midnight poop issue was resolved. He has never been lethargic and his appetite is great.
The meal times seem to be ok. I would just make sure to keep an eye on her to make sure she doesn't show signs of hypoglycemia. 12 hours is quite some time in between meals but if it happens to be working for her then that's great!
Noah doesn't poop directly after he eats either. Usually he'll go about an hour or two after his meal. Every dog is different. You'll learn all about your puppy and her routines as she continues to get older.
Congratulations on your new puppy. You have certainly come to the right place when it comes to advice. |
