u have ur poodle for almost 1 year now...so u cant be considered new to poodle world. They tend to be picky or hv smaller appetite when almost reaching 1 yr old. So u can either change its kibble brand/flavour or just accepts that she eats lesser now. Adults only eat once a day. U can spread 1 meal portion into morning n evening. This way, she wont suffer from gastric. And i think if she;s really a toy size, 3.3kg is not light/too skinny.

they look like real teddy bears in various colours..

or u can click on my link to see for urself but mine r not so fluffy yet coz just at 6 wks old.

sifu... Meaning now I can feed messi once a day? What is the proportion like if switch from artemis to fish4dog? I still have one unopened pack artemis for adult...

Well, she is considered thin as u can see n feel her hip bones. She is jus being picky on food. she would eat any other things other than her food. That's d issue.

hmmm...it's like this. Before this, let's say i feed milo 2x a day, each meal 50 bijik kibbles. So now 50 bijik is divided into 2 meals; morning n evening - 25 bijik each time. coz milo's stomach is very sensitive. He will vomit gastric juice if too hungry.

if u hv the f4d small bites, the amount shud be the same unless u got the giant sizes. If giant sizes, milo one meal is 18 stones. Even 20 stones per meal will make him put on weight very fast. And when he is heavier, it makes him less flexible like very clumsy when jumping up n down the chair or bed. COz if they dont land properly, they might hurt their legs.

During petsword, i spoke to Artemis supplier. He said there r still a lot of artemis in warehouse but with worms. If ppl dont mind the worms which can be removed, the kibbles can still be eaten. But usually worms come in the big packets la.

what other things does she get to eat? home-cooked food? actually home-cooked meals can help kids to put on weight faster coz of the better digestion rate. if u dont mind cooking, maybe u wanna switch to this.

otherwise just try another brand with occasional home-cooked meals.

ive never experienced furkids that r so choosy until they reject kibbles altogether after being on home-cooked food. But if one day, they do...i think i will be very cold-blooded and let them starve till they wallop their kibbles.

oh wait...i think i do encounter a bit of a prob with my son. Sometimes he doesnt finish his kibbles immediately or he waits till evening to eat his breakfast. So if i cant tolerate this, i only need to place another kid in front of him to threaten him and he will swallow his kibbles as soon as possible. Another way is to add supplement on his food like MyBeau, multivites tabs or powder form.

chris.. wut home cooked food is suitable? chicken? egg? carrot? wut else?

What kind of supplements or multivites?
My parent's toy poodle is on d opposite side as mine. Whack any damn thing tat drops from d sky dun care bout anything one whn food is concern. Eat first...do others later kind of attitude.

50biji is estimate artemis? So little ah? hahaha... I think I overfeed messi oh... I think he eats more than 50 biji each meals... And can still feel his ribs... =.='''

i rarely give rice. if u want, u shud give brown rice instead of white rice coz of the higher sugar content. Or organic pasta without wheat.


then u choose watever meat u like (chic, lamb, beef, cod/salmon, duck) and veggies (i usually choose those with higher antioxidant levels like kale, broccoli, carrot). MInce the veggies so kids can digest better. Then can also add some herbs like parsley or rosemary. But rosemary is not suitable for pregnant momma ya.

Lastly can add a bit of supplement oil/black sesame powder/organic honey/organic sesame oil before serving.

Eggs, i either steam together or cut boiled eggs into small pieces.

just the egg white or together with the yolk?
