Guest ferreting king Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 hey all.....all the week i have noticed that my spaniel is clearing her bowl within about 3 hours of me giving it to her. usualy she has 3/4 of dried food and a 1/4 meat and she usualy takes little peices and when i go to take her for a walk in the night she still has some left. but this week she cleared it all could anything be wrong?

Fletcher 0 Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 You should pick up your dogs food after 15 mins, she'll soon learn to eat quick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest ferreting king Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 no i aint! took her to the vet and had injections Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Cal Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 That's not 100% gauranteed. In saying that I'd be more worried if she used to clear her bowl but was now leaving food. Also if its taking three hours to clear its plate and leaving food your feeding it way too much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ferreting king Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 i am not feeding her too much, since i have had her she has had 3/4 dried food and 1/4 meat which i was recomended to do by my local pet shop owner Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stabs 2 Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 what sort of dried food? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ferreting king Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 dried food iams adult Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stabs 2 Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 You shouldn't be feeding meat with a complete food fella. It's complete so you don't need anything else. I had a springer and it was on a par with my staffs for greediness. Do what Fletcher says. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ferreting king Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 will it harm her if i give meat with it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Fishaben Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 HI, my ESS clears his bowl within 3 minutes nevermind 3 hours, we just feed him "Healthy Options" and he loves the stuff, its just plain dry food on its own. Ben Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Fishaben Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 NOTE: We did feed our ESS on "Healthy Options" until we found out it f**ks up his stomach and he has the s**ts all the time, we now have him on WONDERDOG and that has made his crap more solid now. There is a lot of bad reports on "Healthy Options" I dont advise it at all. It just makes most dogs sick and gives them the runs. Ben Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TAKE THE DOG FOR A WALK BEFORE YOU FEED YOUR BITCH WHEN YOU GET BACK WAIT 30 MINS THEN FEED SHE SHOULD EAT HER FOOD RIGHT AWAY IF NOT SHES NOT HUNGREY ENOUGH OR SHES TOO CONTENT TAKE IT AWAY AND TRY THE NEXT DAY SHE WILL SOON LEARN TO EAT STRAIGHT AWAY A GROWED DOG WILL NOT STARVE ITSELF IT WILL SOON EAT UNLESS IT IS A MEDICAL PROBLEM TRY CLEANING DOGS STOMACH OUT WITH WASHING SODA FIRST MIGHT JUST BE A BUILD UP OF BILE IN STOMACH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
littlefish 549 Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 FAO SAMBA "CLEAN YOU DOGS STOMACH WITH WASHING SODA"? Please clarify what washing soda is - is that not the stuff you you down sinks to cleanse drains etc? I wouldn't advise anyone to put that in thier dog - surely it is extremely caustic or am I thinking of the wrong substance? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
