We give her 1/4 cup twice a day but she has not been finishing it. Should we lower the portion and feed her more times per day? I know puppies sleep a lot but this girl sleeps and sleeps and sleeps and I just want to make sure it is not because of her lack of eating. This is our first yorkie, we have had pomeranians for years. Thanks for your time and help. |
hello, it is awesome that she likes the food and eating well.. so stay with that.
yes , i would suggest splitting her meal into 4 x per day.. maybe 1/8 cup @ each meal...
a pup that young and so small can suffer from low blood sugar if not eating enough so it is better to feed at least 4 small meals per day at least till she is 5 to 6 months old..
1/4 cup is probably to much for her tummy all at once..
i hope this helps..
