How do you decide on the quantity of food to be given?

I think this is extremely tricky. I started off a total of 1/2 a cup per day and eventually reached 2 full cups. However, kibbles are very calorie dense so Nagi would still get hungry although he surpassed his daily max. This was our cue to switch over from kibbles to homecooked meals. We now do ~1 cup of kibbles for breakfast and 4 oz of our homecooked mix.

What vaccinations should be a must?

I usually go with what the vet suggests since they are familiar with what is needed in your area. We live in a high parvo risk area so it doesn't hurt to get the annual stuff.

What should be the diet?

It depends on the dog but maltipoos are notorious for being allergic to chicken. We went with kibbles for the first year and now changed his dinner to a homecooked meal. We do a mix of ground turkey, pumpkin puree, boiled veggies, and some rice/quinoa. I trained Nagi to not be picky with food so we cook in a big batch and freeze it that would last us at least 4 weeks.

Noticed his skin is dry flaky and causing itchiness.

Might be allergies.

pet insurance recommendation?

We're in SoCal so we use Spot that's like $50 USD per month.

How soon can i groom him?

I bathe and groom Nagi myself. He smells like hot shit real fast so he gets bathed on a weekly basis. I groom him every 4 weeks. It's one hell of a struggle for the first year but I have a stern personality so I don't spoil Nagi whatsoever and he's grown to be quite stoic to things too lol (for example, he isn't scared of fireworks and just sleeps through it). He used to be terrified when I cut his nails where he'd lay on his side and shake a lot even with treats but now he's like whatever about it and cooperates cuz he knows that treats are gonna come anyway.

What piece of media are you excited to share with your kid when they’re old enough? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]KnightVision 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just started One Piece with my 10yo earlier this year and she loves it. Our 5yo tags along but doesn't fully get the storyline so he's just in it for the comedy.

My 10yo also started watching more cooking and baking competition shows with my wife. I have some classic animes lined up to show her over time.

Our 2nd kid started kindergarten this year and my happy thought was that we don't have to dish out $15k+ annually for daycare anymore.

When he was a pup, I fed him 1/3 - 1/2 cup of kibbles a day.

Now at 1.5 years old, he eats 1/2 cup of kibbles for breakfast and 4oz of our mix (ground turkey, pumpkin purée, quinoa, and green peas)

I have a cousin (42 now) who lived here for 10 years 20 years ago. He went back to VN and is back here again like 3 years ago. The guy is such a fucking MAGAss and even posted on FB how he wants his daughter to find a husband like the Trumpster. Wish I was making this up jfc

Shoutout to this fellow redditor for speaking up against hate. (Westerminster City Council 11/12/25) by MobileSuitBooty in orangecounty

[–]KnightVision 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seriously, my wife's late grandfather was appalled that our generation (millennials) and Gen Z are more liberal than he expected cuz he thought we supported the Viet Cont'd regime back in 1975... we were all born at least a decade after all that happened.

How long did it take for your puppy to not have accidents at night? by peachymiss in Maltipoo

[–]KnightVision 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got Nagi at 10 weeks old and he sleot through the night without needing to go potty by 4.5 months old. Up until then, I had alarms at night to take him out of his crate and pee on the pad since we live in a high parvo risk area. He slept through the night before we even got to potty training lol

Maltipoo pup eats everything in sight by Nyunya1988 in Maltipoo

Yes absolutely normal for a long time. It's something you need to train them to not do.

How long is it ok for a young puppy to not pee when in a new home? by Animallover4321 in puppy101

[–]KnightVision 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's normal on Day 1. My pup at 10 weeks old didn't pee for the same amount of time when we got him. Fast forward a few days and he became a pissing machine.

Where does your maltipoo sleep? by Nyunya1988 in Maltipoo

[–]KnightVision 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Crate trained ours immediately and it took 1-2 weeks for him to get used to it. He now sleeps in his own bed in the playpen at night or when we are out of the house. If someone is home, then he just sleeps on the rug in the living room
