Food & Nutrition > Is our dog eating enough?

River Silly girl     Barked: Thu Nov 22, '12 10:41pm PST  For the most part I believe that puppies will eat what they need, and will not overeat. What about undereating (is that a word)? Our 16 month old Mini Dachshund has the opposite problem. She isn't eating hardly anything, and to our surprise has grown an inch in length! She is not losing weight, and acts normally in every other way (energy level, playful, etc.). When she was growing on a weekly basis, she ate up to 2 cups/day. Now she is eating 1/4-1/2 a cup/day. Should I be concerned? We have a checkup scheduled with her Vet next week, yet I would like to hear your opinion. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Marley Sweet silly boy     Barked: Thu Nov 22, '12 10:31pm PST  If by the P&G thing you mean animal testing, they are phasing it out and are now 95%? free of all animal testing. Sadly, the law requires some products to be tested by animals (medications, lawn care products, etc.). my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
