Hehehe.. he's a nice guy.. wonder he stil remember me not... i used to send my Bebe to him for skin treatment and oso plug her baby teeth wic hard to fall itself. He did give me alot of discount too. But i feel his training course too cosy ler...

how much do u guys feed your dogs a day?
share share so we can get tips from each other
or so i wont underfeed or overfeed my dog ^^"
so what about those owners who control their puppies diet to control diet?
how to know the puppy is not starving

ohh!!! actually i'd ask a lot of experience pet's keeper....cos at 1st i also feel like giving puppy eat only once a day is like torturing them...previously i gv vava eat 3 times per day until she's 4 months old (almost over weight)
so they told me suppose to gv them eat once or twice only per day....if over 2 meals is consider overfeed them unless they are sick or recovering from sickness then only u feed them 3 times per day (max. 3 times)....might not be healthy when they grow older....this is the infromation i gt....

Sounds not right for me.. feeding oni once a day for puppy is torturing for me. This is the method ppl use to keep their dog in small size. But that doesn't means healthy size.

haha i don't mind my vava to be bigger size as long as she's healthy but i was told healthy meals should be once or twice per day.so i got test her before whether she's hungry or not after having only 1 meal per day for bout 1 week, well.....she really dun feel hungry......and now her shape gt back from plumpy body to a nice shape (still under well-maintained).
i give vava eat dry food > Hill's Science Plan / Hill's Prescription Diet.

once or twice per day, i think that is for adult dog not puppy. puppy should feed at least twice a day.
how u test vava whether she hungry or not?she dun love food?or she dunlike her kibbles?

science plan is not a good dog food to me.

i frequent Wow2 Meow2 for kibbles. No doubt Dr.Mel specialises in dentistry, he oso involves himself in other areas such as helping dogs to mate; the last i went there, he helped a 'real' toy poodle to be hamsup-ed by a super big toy poodle. He said the female screamed coz of the male's size. LOL...
There was one occasion where i did not like his impolite behaviour. i was enquiring something at the counter. He just took Milo from my hubby, checked his ears n teeth. I did not know what was his intention.
Perhaps he was trying to find fault with milo's condition. He did say milo's fur was too long at the eyes, covered his eyes liao bla bla bla...but i would appreciate if he asked for my permission first before checking on milo.

joelle.huey,
Maybe u can try to get books specially written on poodles. They have very comprehensive guidelines on how much to feed them at different ages. Seriously, u shud never thot of feeding only once before they reached one year. Just like humans, after some time of not having supper, we wont feel like eating late at night dy. It's a matter of habit...not becoz we r not hungry.

which says
Your new puppy should eat 3-4 times a day until the age of 6 months and then at the age of 6 months you can reduce to 2 times a day. For the small breed puppies you may want to continue with the frequent small meals throughout the day to help prevent hypoglycemia.

This info is good for new owner.

if teacup , once per day die already... teacup must feeds every 2 to 3 hours, they dummy small cant keep so many food and cant fasting well... during puppy must fees 3 to 4 times per day.

ya smaller size of puppy cant feed so few meal. should feed small amount and more meal.

Louis, funny la u...but it's true la...very difficult to raise tea cups. In Bow2 Meow2, there is a gal with a tea cup, 11 mths old. She said her dog patah kaki many times liao. Very difficult to grow big.

izit black color at woow2 meow2 new branch... i saw the teacup.. leg really so small yuri assistant told me she scare to hold him

yayaya!!! that's what i'm thinking bout....new puppy should eat 3-4 times a day until the age of 6 months and then at the age of 6 months you can reduce to 2 times a day. that's vava situation now.... but when vava 7 months, she started to eat once a day...issit science plan not good? no wonder my vava dun like to eat. cos a lot vet recommend science plan. then what food u recommend for toy poodle?

again this question nid yenlu come to explain to u why all vet sell science plan. wait i cal her come.


im feeding innova.

vets recommend coz that's what they have in their shop. Salesman from these companies put their products there but it does not mean they r good.
