Mayme is 7.5 mnths and probably weights around 5lbs. She doesn't look big to me at all. However, her mom was 4lbs and dad was 5lb. So, maybe she is a little big for 7 mnths? I just switched her to wellness, which said to feed her 1 1/4 cups daily. That seems like a lot compared to what she was having (3 tablespoons - 2x a day, plus treats when she pottys.)
Erin - Where can I find a pet calorie calculator?
Thanks! |
