My dogs certainly eat more than 7 tablespoons of food a day.
And - I wouldn't assume your two dogs need the same amount of food.
My little Yorkie eats a ton more than yours does - he is six months old, weighs 6 1/2 pounds, and is very slender. And - believe me - he would eat more if I gave it to him. But I have to draw the one somewhere - right?
I wonder (with only 7 tablespoons of food a day) if your dog isn't rightfully still hungry??? That just doesn't seem like much food to me.
The way I was taught to feed my dogs was -- feed them until they are full and walk away - then remove any remaining food - and don't feed them again until their next meal.
I'm sure you'll get a lot more responses. Wait and see what they all say.
Good luck! Carol Jean |
