Question
My female goldie is 11 months old. I have been feeding her twice a day (am and pm) - with Nature's Balance potato and duck (which she loves). Over the last few days we have noticed that she is refusing her morning meal, but will eat at 5PM. She wakes at 5:30AM (we all do!) - does her business outsides - comes in and plays - then curls up and naps! Should I be concerned? Should I feed her only once a day?? Thank you for your help!

Answer
Feeding dog foods; Nature's Balance Potato and Duck:
Hi Maryanne;  Your Goldie is almost ready for the 1 meal per day but NOT yet....
How about feeding her a smaller meal in the am?  Offer a topper on the Nature's Balance food.
Buy some canned wet food - Your brand or : Innova EVO, Wellness Core, or Solid Gold.
Give her 3 tablespoons on top of the dry, in the am.  ( Offer less "dry" in the am).

Please start your gal onto the NuVET vitamin supplements... EXCELLENT - Holistic ....1000s and 1000s of Goldens take 1 NuVET wafer every morning.
