I used to free feed Cyrus, but when I took him to the vet, they asked me if he was eating normally, and I had no idea. In order to monitor his intake, I started feeding him twice a day. I started with the recomendation on the bag, which I believe is 3/4 cup. He wasn't finishing it, so I went down to 1/2. Well, recently, he has been eating it all and then he'll sit there and lick the bowl until I give him more. Now he's eating 3/4 cups twice a day, and still acting like I'm starving him. Licking the bowl, eating things off the floor and the ground, begging for table scraps...How do I be sure he's getting enough without over feeding him? He can't still be growing at a year, can he?

Savanna acts like she is starving too. She gets 1/2 cup in the am/pm plus green beans and/or  carrots. She also gets bully sticks and Dried chicken breast strips! She ain't hungry, just acts that way. She is back down to her weight of 10 pounds, from 12.5. She looks great!! Good Luck too you!
