Annie 16 y/o, 9-10 lbs
Brand: Triumph canned, mostly chicken, some other flavors
Cups: 1/3-1/2 can once a day- she was getting a little chunky on 1/2 can so we cut her back, but may have to increase with warmer weather and increased activity, we'll see. mixed with about equal amount of water. She gets a lot of scraps at my parents house, and I'm not innocent in that department, either
Sometimes she steals some of Bus' kibble while he's eating (I scatter it on the kitchen floor or feed in a toy so he can't gulp it), but it's a negligible amount.
Supplements: fish oil (1000mgish?); some kidney support treat b/c her bun and creatinine were slightly elevated before her dentistry last month- will check blood again soon and if it helped, keep her on it.
Bus 8 y/o, 13ish lbs
Brand: Health Extensions adult (chicken/turkey?)
Cups: 1 as a base, but if he's doing anything other than sitting in a kennel all day, he needs more. He's been wanting to swim, but I've been discouraging him, as his caloric needs shoot through the roof when he spends a lot of time in the cold water- he usually gets up to 2 cups/day in spring, or I'll give him 1 cup of his food and 1/2 cup of the cats food as it's higher fat and protein. He gets a lot of scraps as well, sometimes a bit of canned food, and redbarn rolled food when we track.
Supplements: fish oil when I remember.
I get a 40# bag of their dry food, but split it with my mom for my grandmom's dog, so the 20ish # I get lasts about 2-3 months. Annie goes through about 12 cans of food/month.
