Gee, I wish I could feed mine like you do. the 7 yr old won't touch dry or canned. She is really picky. We finally found a recipe she'll eat but we have to special feed the younger one due to bladder crystals. thank goodness she isn't so picky.
Only you and God know your heart.

My Chi, Gizmo is almost 5 months old and 4.5 lbs. I feed him a 1/2 cup dry per day, too. I split it up into two feedings. In the morning, I mix it with a teeny-tiny bit of canned (like maybe a teaspoon full) and a little bit of warm water to mix it. He does fine on that amount of food and does not have any runny stools. I feed Canidae (both the dry and the canned) brand which is a high quality food. I think that dogs do well on less food if it is high quality without all those fillers (such as corn) in it. Sometimes their stomachs can be sensitive to the ingredience in the lower quality Stefanie --- On Wed, 8/6/08, awr101614 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: awr101614 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [Chihuahuas] best food and how much is too much? To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, August 6, 2008, 10:50 AM I am a newer chi owner and my zoey is 4 months old. She is used to pro plan dry food and the vet told me to cut back b/c she is 4lbs. 8oz. and loves to eat. In the morning she eats about 1/4 cup dry food and in the evening 1/4 dry food with just alittle wet food mixed in. She loves the wet food and has been looking better but is eating everything in site including bugs outside! I would appreciate advise and sample meals. Also, wet food gives her loose stools. Is that always normal and should we give her a break from the wet food because of that?
