personally I wouldn't leave food over night. It can get crusty, harden or even mold up because its moist. She may eat it anyway (trust me I've seen my Chi eat ANYTHING -- ahem cat poo for one). I would give her a good meal 30 mts before bed. Let her eliminate and then put her in her crate. If your worried about dehydration I'd leave some water or an ice-cube or two in a bowl, so that its cold and melts over time.
Just my thoughts, but I'm no chi expert. I've asked my fair share of questions too JD On Aug 4, 2013, at 10:48 PM, "leanneb65" <leanne...@gmail.com> wrote: > Because last night my lil one choked a bit on her food I now crush it up a > bit before adding water to soften it.
