| Dulce's eating habits Dulce is 3 months old today. She weighs a little under 3 pounds. The bag says to feed her a minimum of 3/4 cups of food a day. I do everything I can to get her to eat, and she does when she seems hungry, but she's averaging 2/4 a cup a day, so its almost like she's missing a serving according to the bag. Is she undereating? Or is it because she's smaller than most dogs that eat this food? HELP!!!

| I'd say just free feed. When she's hungry, she'll eat. Either that or she's not crazy about the food you are feeding. May I ask what you are feeding?

| She's eating Nutri-system. The guy we bought her from said not to switch her diet for a year, and that she's been eating that. Is 2/4 not enough for a 2 pound puppy? Yikes...

Nutro is a pretty good food. And yes, she'll eat when she's hungry...unless she doesn't like it. You may want to try other food too. Try www.dogfoodanalysis.com. Also if she's young make sure her sugar doesn't get too low. Did you ever try wet food?
