When do you know pretty much how much they will weigh as adults? What food and amount are you feeding? |
Max has 2 lazy older shiz tzu sisters that sleep all the time. I keep telling my husband another yorkie would keep him active all day so he would lose the pounds but he doesn't buy my idea. Darn! I free feed them and everyone said to stop doing that. So now I put out what the 2 that eat dry should in a day and not refill the bowl. His sister is a chow hound so will be the first to the bowl. Hopefully he's eating his small little portion. I think the bag says 1/2 cup for a 10 lb dog(Bil-Jack). Emma is 13 lbs so I put out around a cup a day. Then Ava only eats wet food and he is social eater and has a bite with her but no more.
