Yorkie Yakker | Nutri-stat and amount of food Hello, I have an 8 month old boy, he is just over 3 lbs. I have been giving him Nutri-stat since I got him at about 3 months. I was giving it to him a couple times a day, but he is a good eater so I give it to him only once a day now. I was wondering if that is correct, to much or not enough. Also, I feed him Nutro Natural Choice (that is what he was one when I got him) he has done very well on it and I didn't want to change it. He is eating about a heaping 1/4 cup of the puppy food a day. Sometimes a little more or less. He is a grazer so I keep it out and free feeds. Is that the right amount of food? Should he be eating more or less than that at this age? I just want to make sure I do everything right for him. Let me know!! |

| As long as he is eating, he doesn't need Nutristat. It is handy to keep around though. (Good for days when they don't feel good from shots, after surgery, etc and aren't eating much.) |
