My Mini Schnauzer and her eating

19 10:27:12

Question
Hi,
My pup is 13 weeks and weighs 6.6 lbs. She eats 2x a day about 2/3 cup of food but usually never finishes it. Should I be worried? Should I be trying to feed her 3 times a day?

Answer
I only feed my puppies twice a day. If she is leaving some in the dish, it may be that you are feeding her too much. If you can feel her ribs easily (I do not like to feel hip bones), but not see them, then she is in good weight. If you think she needs to eat a bit more, try putting warm water in her food. She will be teething soon, and her gums may be starting to get a bit sore.
