This formula has a much lower calorie count than the Pure Vita (420ish cal/cup). How much does Buster get to eat daily? I've been giving Toki some pumpkin and mostly frozen green beans to help compensate for the volume of food but I think she'd like having more kibbles to crunch on.
I hope that you will keep us updated on how Buster does on this formula  |
I had the same problem with Buster on the Ziwipeak. It is great food but the amount was so small he was always hungry. I would bulk it up with green beans, sweet potatoes, lettuce, carrots, etc but he was always hungry. With the Osopure they recommend 2/3 - 1 cup for 5-10 pounds. I am feeding him 1/4 cup in the morning and night and set aside another 1/4 for treats and training. Since we are trying to loose weight I weigh him every week so how much I feed will be a learning curve. Buster is much more satisfied after his meal so I am hopeful this will work out.
LOL I have never done as much research into my own diet as I do with Buster. I just read an article in Fetch magazine and found out that Quinoa is a great grain for dogs. It said that it is loaded with protein and contains all 10 of a dog's essential amino acids which is very rare for a grain so I started adding some to Buster's diet.
