I’m feeding him Dick VanPatten's Natural Balance® L.I.D. Limited Ingredient Diets® Lamb Meal &Brown Rice Small Breed Bites™ Dry Formula. About three teaspoon’s at a time andthe food and water tray stay in his pen at all times.
He barely eats though if heeats one of the three teaspoons we are lucky. Is that normal? I worry.
If I put a piece of the dryfood in my hand or fingers I can get him to eat one at a time but that’s alittle tedious.
We also have Natural Balance®Ultra Premium Beef /or Lamb or Liver Canned Formula and I mix in a teaspoon ofthat and he seems to like it better but we worry about diarrhea.
We try to give him vitaminpaste 2-3 times daily too.
How do we get him to eatmore?
Does the pen look right? |
The pen set up looks great!!! You are doing an awesome job & obviously want to do right things for your Yorkie! There are many good dog foods out there and also many bad ones.... just do your homework. You'll figure it out... we ALL had to!
At this time my 3 eat Fromm food. When they were puppies I fed Royal Canin for small breed puppies, and between those I fed Innova & Blue Buffalo..... (changing foods for different reasons, including wanting grain-free for my adult dogs).
If you are worried about your puppy not eating enough, can i suggest Nutrical. It can be found in a tube at Petsmart. Sometimes puppies get low on sugar when they don't get enough to eat an it can cause hypoglycemia. A little Nutrical will really help. You can read about this if you "google" yorkie puppy hypoglycemia or you can search it here on YT. Is the vitamin paste you are referring to called "Nutrical"?
Hope things are going well for all of you.... can't wait to see some pics of that little guy!!!!
