How much? I am feeding Lucy RC Mini Puppy. I'm going to be switching her over in the next week. I just looked at the measuring cup I use for her food and she is only eating 1/4 cup of food per day. I checked twice. Can this be right? 4 tbsp. per day? She free feeds and I give her a scoop in the morning and sometimes she doesn't even finish it by the end of the day. She doesn't really go for chicken, beef or any of the regular people food (like boiled) so she is definitely not hungry but doesn't 1/4 cup seem too little? |
It does seem kinda little...but how is her weight holding? Can you feel her ribs just right (not too much, not too little)? I'm trying to remember - is she 3.5 pounds? Marcel, who is 2.12 lbs. eats probably btwn 3/4-1 cup of food per day, but it's homecooked. |
it does seem short to me too. Koda eats the same food and we are getting ready to switch up too. He eats about 3/4 cup a day total in 2 diff settings (8am & 8pm) He is just around 6lbs though. Also he has his treats during the day too. he seems satisfied with his amount and "feels" just right to me on his ribs. |
1/4 cup is about what Dixie eats of the RC too :confused: I mix in about 1 teaspoon of chopped chicken in the morning and at night. And she gets a couple of YYs and a bit of yogurt after she eats. She weighs about 4 lbs but has a tummy on her so she should be more like 3.5 I think. I always thought she was a good eater until I read the other posts. Now I'm worried. What are you going to switch Lucy to? I'm thinking Merricks, Dixie won't touch Canidae. I would love to know what you decide! |

Lucy eats 1 natural dried 100% chicken sticks a day in addition to the RC but that's about it. She's just not that into food. She is 3.5 and rib-wise she feels just fine. It only occured to me when I scooped her food this morning to see how much the scoop holds... |
