| My lil friend | 12-29-2012 09:38 PM | Welcome! There are 5 small dogs here,none weigh the same,so the calorie need is different for each. We do have a feeding schedule AM and PM. I own about 15 glass custard cups. PM dogs recieve approx 1/4 cp of Blue Buffalo Grain Free,the bigger dog gets a bit more,the Chi gets a bit less ( we are working on his weight). I line the bowls up,stand or sit in the room and they SNARF. AM each gets approx 1/4cp of food that I make (rice,chicken,peas,carrots,riso pasta made in advance and kept in the freezer) and a bit of BB on top. I line the bowls up and they again SNARF. If someone spits the "life source" bits out,someone else is happy to eat them. The chi puts them on the floor and eats them all at once. They get treats throughout the day (BB little cookies,treats that I make,carrots). The age range is 13yrs to 2yrs.
I have always had toy breed dogs but Mina is my first yorkie,she is like having a child in the house. They do get cold easially,you can order sweaters online and I think that there are a couple of doggie boutiques in Springfield. I havent ever seen any doggie clothes at the big mall in Branson. We make a trip there every spring.
I hope that your new addition will settle in quickly. |
