lots of feeding questions, help please :) hey everyone, toby is 12 weeks old, eating blue buffalo, and has 1/3 cup per day split into 4 little meals. i am feeding him the 1/3 of a cup b/c that is what my vet recommended for his weight (2.4lbs) BUT he scarfs his little meals down so fast he doesn't even chew!! I have actually been hand feeding him kibble by kibble so he doesnt LITERALLY inhale his food. soooo i thought maybe I should increase his food to 1/2 a cup. but then i thought, my big dog eats FIVE cups of food a day :eek: and she still eats like its her last meal too... so maybe dogs are just crazy eaters?? any advice? or anyone out there with a dog of similar weight, how much do you feed? also, i have been feeding him 4 times so he gets food every 5 hours or so, he has never had a problem eating, or had low sugar levels, so should i cut it back to 3 times per day?? or stick with the 4 til he gets a little older... so many questions!!! thank you :) |
I free feed and never restricted food from mine. None overeat or have weight problems. Personally I wouldn't restrict a puppy's food. There is a portion size given on the side of the bag....what amount does that say? |
free feeding isn't really an option for me. i have a cat, and another dog, and a toddler who like dog food haha :) at least this way i know HE is getting the food and not someone else. Plus all the animals eat different foods.... :rolleyes: any other recommendations?? |
