I also wondered the same thing. Scout is 12 weeks old and I'm feeding her BB puppy for small breed and it says 1/4 - 1/2 a cup a day. I also mix a little Wellness puppy canned in to give it more flavor, but some days she eats it all and others not. Sometimes she will eat 1/2 of her dish and walk away. It's def frustrating because we want to make sure they have enough. I notice when I hand feed her kibbles, she loves it, but I def don't want to get her in that habit!! Every dog is different and maybe their food needs to be adjusted.
Yorkies are so picky when it comes to food so it can be a problem. I also have Jem, 11 years old, he eats hills prescription W/D because he has always had tummy issues and some days he doesn't even eat his whole cup of kibbles. Ive learned not to sweat it with him because I feel he eats what he needs but I can sympathize with you with the puppy.
I feel as long as they are acting normal and have normal poops it shouldn't be a problem. we still can't help but worry! |
