Feeding raw and a question about weight... - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I just started raw a week or two ago. For my two, Mayzie gets 1.6 oz and Mo gets 1.3. I am also free feeding them Kibble in the afternoon until bedtime. They get 1/4 of that. The medallions do seem like such a small amount of food and yes, they always look to me for more, but I know that they are not hungry at the end of the day because they never eat the entire amount of dry and seem very satisfied.

They were NOT happy with me this morning though! I forgot to thaw their raw

I put kibble down for them this morning and they just looked at me like I was a complete idiot! Thank goodness for cottage cheese. That eased their pain. They will be happy at supper time though!

I feed my boys way more than recommended on the feeding guide. Ranger is 4.7 and Ry is 2.9. I only feed raw in the evening and pretty much feed them their whole daily serving at night. Ryder gets 1 and a half, and Ranger gets 2. They get kibble in the am (2T for Ryder and 1/3C for Ranger). Ryder feels just right, and my little hummingbird is perpetually too thin. Maybe he'll gain some during his recovery this month.

I like the idea of leaving kibble out for your little man, so he can eat if he gets hungry :-)
