She gets one cup of dry food each day and one can of wet food every day? That is NOT healthy. She should be getting alot more food seperated into 2 meals. And two cups in the winter? She should probably be eating 2-4 cups a day to maintain a healthy weight.Quote:

I'm not sure exactly how big Roxy should be but Tango is my smallest adult (36lbs) and she eats roughly 3 cups daily during the winter and a bit more in the summer (because she's so active) of higher quality food. Winston, eventhough he's bigger eats 2 1/2 cups a day of the same food, but he's a pretty lazy dog so that's enough food for him. Since Roxy is on Kibbles N' bits, I'd put her up to about 3-4 cups a day (2 cups in the morning, 2 in the evening) until she's at a good weight and then *maybe* cut her back a little.
You don't have to be an expert to read the back of her food bag. It says right on the bag how much to feed. It would be like me eating a bowl of cereal in the morning and a piece of steak for dinner. She needs more food in order to get all the vitamins/minerals she needs. Try giving her 2 cups, twice a day. :)Quote:

Hi eveyone sorry to butt in but you should prob ask the vet what they think she should weigh and feed her the amount that will get her to that weight, just read the back of the bag.
Well...there's nothing on the back of the bag...
Is there something on the side (sometimes those can't be trusted anyway, I know if I fed my dogs what the instructions say they'd be huge)? Like I said, I'd be feeding her roughly 2 cups twice a day (4 cups all together).Quote:

It explains how much to feed to different sized dogs.;)
But it's Not EXACTLY kibbles and bits. It's the Grocery Store brand.Quote:

Eating other poop, if OP takes her on walks like she said she does, then she could have easily eaten poop then.
