Feeding meals 2 times. 100 gm.chicken, brown rice , pumpkin,beans, carrot. Altogether about 350 gm each meal. Then inbetween a piece of whole wheat bread, few watermelon pieces
Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi

Archna
Yes, these are already there
Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
You should increase the carbohydrate content in food, like increasing chapati and quantity of rice
Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
If you can tell me what is your dog’s weight i can let you know approximately how much carbohydrate increment is needed

He is 17 kg

Hello! My 4 month old Golden Retriever is not as fond of her food as she used to be. We give her pedigree puppy (chicken and milk) with a teaspoon of buffalo milk for flavour. She drinks the milk but refused to finish her kibble. What do you suggest we do?1 likes•6 comments•227 views
