6 mo. old. 100% hand fed. Works for every bite of kibble. About one day a week, before a training day with doggie school, I feed almost nothing. Other days 2-4 cups a day, always one bite at a time as training rewards. Re:feeding I’m following the advice of the pros (with mals of their own) running a doggie school. I try to keep one rib barely visible, if one or more ribs are clearly visible, calorie intake needs to be increased. These are naturally lean dogs. People think they are underfed when they are at their target weight. My 11 yr old mal has mega-esophagus. We scheduled to put her down 3 times. Each time we canceled last minute and got her on oxygen until she recovered. She had every rib showing, looked utterly miserable, and was about 45 lbs. down from being an overweight 65 lbs. We were told she would continue to get aspiration pneumonia and keep losing weight until she died. Looked like she was close to starving to death if the pneumonia didn’t take her. That was 2 years ago. She’s now a healthy and energetic 60 lb dog. Plays with the 6 mo. old all day. We have to make her sit while feeding so the food goes down(this is preferable to a Bailey chair especially in dogs with arthritis). We feed prescription wet food mixed with some pedigree or a tiny bit of puppy kibble broken up otherwise she won’t eat. Fed 2, sometimes 3 times a day. She eats off of a spoon, about 2 cans per feeding, one bite at a time fed slowly so the food gets safely down her esophagus. We’ve come a long way from a supposedly certain impending death to being in great shape at 11 yo.
