Hi All!
Just wanted to get your opinion on some things that my vet just advised to me...
Meenah is almost 10 months old. I've noticed that sometimes she wants to eat her food and sometimes she won't touch it (mind you, she is ALWAYS willing to eat human food). So I called the vet's office and asked if this is the time when I'm supposed to switch to feeding her once a day. First off, they told me that she ought to be on adult, not puppy, food by this age. They instructed me to start the switchover to adult food. Secondly, they told me to continue feeding her twice and day and not to ever change to once a day. Thirdly, when I told them that I take her food away after 15 to 20 minutes of not eating it, they told me that I should leave it for the entire day and that limiting the time with the food is something you do just with puppies.
This is quite different from what I've seen advised on this board. I was wondering what you thought of their instructions and as experienced cavalier owners, if you agree.
Thanks!
