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?
Science Plan is one of the brand that sponsor one of the subject/course in the veterinary studies. They taught the students back in the University regarding pet's diet. Can you link this with the reason why vet is saying Science Plan good?
Further more, Hills Prescription Diet (and others vet-diet) can only be purchased in vet-clinic, and they get about 50% profit margin off the vet diet. Have a thought about it

Vet is doctor, a doctor is familiar in health and medicine. They are not nutritionist. However, I am not saying all vet do not know about the nutrition that a dogs need, and how to determine a good diet for dog. Vets works in clinic, not petshop, they do not get to know about the other brands out there. And not all so free go and study about the other brand, when they have a brand that can bring a high profit margin.

lolx.....i think i should feed vava twice a day dy.....cos she very "tam chiak po".......feel heart pain also gv her eat too little.....

Just read the packaging behind the label of the dog food, then feed according to what it writes there. Divide into 2 or 3 meals.
Actually it is not the matter that you feed how many meals perday, but how much you feed perday.. perhaps you are feeding A LOT in one meal. That maybe enough for your dog, but not healthy, because you are making their stomach bloated LOL... Read the guideline at the dog food label, and adjust from there. Divide into 2-3meal portions so your dog won't feel hungry, or bloated in one meal.
After about a week, you will see if your dog is too fat or too thin.. then adjust by adding or decreasing the quantity of food, not cutting down the meal time.
