[sharon whincop]

My 16/17lb's get 3oz of meal, meat for breakfast. 1 weetabix plus a handfull of meal for there dinner.

Robbie is 18lbs and I fed him as much as he wanted :thumbsup: . I could not do that with Ricky as he would have run with the no limits :lol: :lol: .

Im now doing the same with Gizmo,,he gets as much as he wants too :- " , but still a but under weight :blink:

 

[sherry]

I never weigh the dogs food. Robbie gets almost the same as Ricky, just a 1/4 mug different :wacko: Rob is 18 and Ricky 23. Gizmo gets a lot more than Ricky does and still under weight, 20lb 5oz , but he's getting extra at night, so I hope he puts more on. Its murder having fussy eaters :angry: :angry: .

Let the dog eat, run it, and let it find the right racing weight :thumbsup: ,,,unless its like Ricky , then be careful, or your little dog will run in the piggy race :lol: :lol: :lol:

Dinner meat , biscuit and veg, evening meal meat or fish with rice or pasta and dog meal, at bed time warm milk and a dog treat. Thay eat as much as thay want. Thay are all big eaters. Smallest is 16lb he gets the same amount as the biggest who is 23lb. Dont worry he/she will eat what thay need.
