My Paterdale (feeding)

[Guest Know Fack all]

My 5month paterdale has not been eating as much lately.

 

She is still full of life and doesnt look skinny or rundown, but I just noticed lately she seems to be leaving a bit of her dinner in the bowl.

 

 

I have not changed her food or changed anything for that matter, I feed raw meat and mix in a decent turkey and rice kibble in the morning and evening, her shit is solid and there is plenty of it passing, is this normal and just part of the growing process and will in time regain her appitite?

My Patt bitch started to do that at about the same age. I gave up giving her breakfast and she just has dinner. She leaves less now and only what she don't want and seems fit and healthy. You could try varying the diet abit, adding some veg or a raw egg.

 

I wouldn't worry too much. If she looks good and is active, you are doing the right thing.

i would take her dish up once she has finnished feeding,that way you know when and how much she is eating.If you leave some food in the dish for her you will not know how much she is eating.My pup would eat a horse,like he is doing now :11:
