Hi All,
Today marks a week that we've had our 8 week old Frenchie making her 9 weeks now and want to make sure we are doing the right things. Before even picking her up, food was my biggest concern. Breeder had her on Fromm Heartland Gold but after much research I decided to move her to Orijen Puppy when we took her in.
First day or so she wasn't eating much, maybe 1/4 cup or so. Recommend for 5 lbs was 3/4 cup (76 grams). About the third day she started to eat all of her food, spread out over 3 meals. Her
oo: has been good since she came.
I weighed her last night and she was 6.5 pounds so I thought i'd up the food to 90g spread over 3 meals. Today she had her first 30g along with a new smaller bowl, she seemed a bit more into the food. About 4 hours later, a bit before her next meal she thew up twice, most of it mushy food with a couple of unchewed kibble. Could this be because she ate too fast or could the extra 5g be too much for her? Her activity level after was normal.
In regards to her food, Orijen, to my understanding this is one of the best but other brands seems to be more recommended on these forums. I don't think she has any allergies to the food, no bumps or rashes. She does scratch at her collar every once and awhile but I don't know if that's normal. Should I just stick to what shes having now or should I move to something like Zignature with a single protein to stop her form scratching at all? Fromm doesn't seem like the ingredients are on par with Orijen or Zignature.
Thanks in advance.
