We have been trying to get her on an eating schedule. She eats at about 6am on weekdays and 8am on the weekend. The again at about 12/2pm and dinner at 6-7pm. She takes a few bites then leaves it. We only give her about min to eat.
We tried feeding he crateand a designated spot in the kitchen. ANy suggestions? Or is she still just getting used to her new home?
Answers:
You have one dog? Fill the bowl and leave it she'll eat when she is hungry. Never take the food away. Not all dogs are chow hounds trying to make themselves sick by gorging before its gone. This is how I end up with dogs that are food aggressive. THey don't want anyone else around they only have so long to eat and then it will be taken away.
Give her a couple more days on the feeding schedule, and check the amount you're feeding... she may just be getting too much food. If she's eating at the top of the range recommended by your vet, cut back a bit and see if that helps.
If not, a trip to the vet is in order.
Try spreading out the feeding schedule a little more. I usually give a little food every like 2 hours to puppies under 2-3 months old.
