I mentioned some of this in a post I made last weekend. I wanted to get some feedback or see if anyone has had a similar experience.
Brigetta eats twice a day 1 3/4 cups each time. I have to put her Busy Buddy in her bowl to slow her eating down. Before eating I put her in a sit/wait, until I give the ok signal to eat.
Over the past couple of weeks her eating habits have really changed. When I give the ok signal, she will sometimes eat and sometimes she will run off to play or even go lay down. If she doesn't eat right away, she will come back and eat within 15-30 min. However, once or twice she hasn't eaten until dinner.
She has started taking the food out of the bowl, dropping it on the floor and then eating it.
She has also started eating a lot slower. She is actually chewing the food.
She is getting a little finicky with her biscuits as well. Sometimes she wants them, sometimes not.
EVERYTHING else is normal. She runs, plays, drinks, pees, and poops as usual.
I have checked her mouth for sores, etc. I don't see anything and she chews her nylabones every day and they're pretty hard.
I feed her California Natural Chicken Meal and Rice. She has been on it for quite awhile, no problems. I even opened a new bag in case the old one was stale.
I have tried different bowls and feeding her in different places.
She has an appointment with the vet next month. I just wanted to see what everyone thought.
She's about 15 months.
Is it a big deal if she only eats once a day? I was worried that if she is out playing during the day she should have something in her stomach.
What's up with the eating slower and taking the food out of the bowl?
