I free feed my chis, so I don't bother with amounts, but it is normal for
wet food to cause less firm stools. If your chi is a little piglet that
never seems full, I recommend giving her green beans. They will fill her
up and have absolutely no calories. Just open a can of beans with no added
salt, ect, and feed straight from the can. This is what the vet
recommended for my moms little piglet chi and it realy helped bring the
weight down. Then for the nutritional value, you can continue to give her
her dog food, but less of it.
