Hi Muchan, yes what devil86 told is about right...a puppy should be fed about 3 - 4 times a day until about maybe 6 months, then only reduce the frequency (but up the amount) to 2 times a day. After the pup turns one year old, you can either stick with 2 times a day or just feed once a day I feed Scottie once a day

Well, I don't really know much about kibbles too...I have fed Scottie Nutri Edge before, but Scottie didn't do well with it. Later on I switched him to a lamb and rice formula (forgot the brand name though ) and after he turned one, I switched him again to Acana. He did okay with it for a while, but I found Royal Canin for Schnauzers, and switched him to it...he did quite well on it, but it was too pricey and the store that I'm getting it from doesn't want to carry it anymore, so I looked for an alternative, and turned to raw I think most other brands are better than the shopping mall brands (like Purina or Pedigree). If your friend can't find other brands, and the pup is doing well on Eukanuba, perhaps it's best to stick to it while she looks for another brand

nice dog you have there.

i think most of us pet owners, we really miss our cute lil pup. they just grow up so so fast....

i still remember the day i took Ramses home. cute lil innocent angel, as seen on the thread avatar. now, he really lives up to his name as a Pharoah. My house is his kingdom. and i thought i was suppose to be king (my name is Arthur)

Yup, I still remember that too...when I took Scottie home he was only this small:


Now he's like Ramses also...thinks he's the boss. But when I'm around, he's mama's boy

my Miki is still a 4 months little girl

enjoy it as much as you can time flies.....

my miki finally master in sit and down command used around 1 month to teach her

my two girls with another friend's schnauzer hehe..

Just for fun! Mini Schnauzer, Mini Poodle and Toy poodle puppy meeting each other for the first time!

hi everyone♥ i bought macho when he's 3months old.. i wanted to crop his ear because i think that macho wil look more handsome with it..^^ but some ppl said that ear croping should be done within 12weeks. Macho is already 4months plus now.. can he still do ear cropping? any recommended govt. vet for this surgery to be done?

Let me give you some tips over your furkid. My strong suggestion is NOT to do it (note the bold letters). I have seen through it, and I know the pain and suffering that the poor animal has to endure, just for the looks. You will not know until you see and hear him wake up from the surgery. His whimper and cries will put many into tears. My take is that he is your faithful pet and friend, and not for show. He does not deserve this kind of treatment.

Even after surgery, the pain and suffering continues for the next 3-5 weeks, due the healing process. Will you be there to watch over him all the time to ensure that he does not scratch his ears or Buster off? Are you going to make sure that he sleeps well, and attend to his every whim during that time, as probably he won't be able to eat or drink properly due to the Buster (cone shape contrapment on his head)?

Also note that taking out the stiches will cause another round of pain inflicted to the poor furkid, as there are at least 10 stitches on one ear to remove. Too little stitches and the poor kid's ears will split open like a banana peel. Too many stitches, and the stitches gets lost in the fur.

If, after a few paragraphs of words above, that you still want to proceed with the ear crop, my suggestion is to go a reputable vet and not your government vet to do it. You should also hire a professional dog handler/dog show expert to ensure that the crop will be done nicely and in shape (make sure he/she lines the cut properly). The ears DO NOT grow back, so one wrong cut and your furkid will look like a warthog (seriously). It will be very expensive, but at least your furkid will not look defaced for the rest of his life. Also note that most good and nice vets do not perform such operations as it is against their principles, so do your homework first.

Good luck.

Well said, Nitrous I don't really agree with ear cropping myself..although in the beginning when I got Scottie I did think about it, but in the end, I'm glad I didn't I have not been through the ear cropping process with my dog but I have read about it, and it is very painful and heartbreaking especially if the wound doesn't heal properly.

I agree that a reputable vet is better...not that I don't trust government vets but as the saying goes, "What is good does not come cheap". So unless you plan to risk how your pup looks like in the future, please do your research first, Vinns...I personally think that the natural ears of a Min. Schnauzer makes them look very handsome already. Why change that?

Yaya, my schnauzer with 1 stand ear and 1 down ear i still feel it is cute, and this is wat makes my ms special^^
If u love ur pup, dun let it go through those painful process juz for ur own satisfaction...
