eat some kibbles if nothing else is down and he is starving! I have given him
roasted turkey, roasted chicken, port tenderloin, he sometimes will gobble it
up and other times he TURNS UP his nose and walks away!!! I die laughing
but it is very upsetting ,him not eating. I know they say he will eat when he
is hungry,but how long do you leave it down? He likes peas,vegetable mix,
and I do give him them, sometimes mixed in with meat, sometimes alone
beside meat. He has eaten both ways. Should I worry ( if nothing is wrong)
if he misses some meals because he just won't eat,or is he starting to cut
down on one or more meals?? I know they cut down on one meal but two???
Well thanks for listening and any advice you have, let me have it!!!!!!

I was wondering how much food to feed a 9 mo old mininature poodle. I give
him a small bowlfull,maybe 2 handfulls. He normally eats 99% or all of it! But
he starts asking for biscuits and treats not to long after dinner.Doesn't always
get it! Should he get treats if he is not eating his dinner? I know he should
not be more than 15" tall but I don't know the weight.

Thank You
Sandi

Roxy is maturing. She is def. showing her teenage snootiness though. The, I will do it my way, momma doesn't know what she's talking about. LOL Spud is a very sophisticated dog. Extremely well mannered and mature. He is around 17months and has been this way for awhile. I don't think Precious will ever outgrow the puppy stage. Which is fine with me. She is a very unique dog and I think even when her snoot is gray, she will still be running circles with the kids. LOL
