Our female Pomeranian pup is 10 months old. We feed her home-cooked food because she refuses to eat dog food. She eats very little and is a bit thin. She is shedding a lot. How should I change her eating habits and keep her in size?
Gradually introduce the pet food over a 5-10 day period by mixing very small amounts of the balanced petfood with old diet. Remember that too quickly a change over may upset your pets metabolic balance and they may also lose interest in food. Please remember that it is not possible to feed your dog a consistent and adequate home-prepared diet without considerable time, effort, and expertise. It is difficult even for an experienced breeder to prepare balanced diet for dogs. There is no need to feed any supplements like calcium or home diet while he is feeding on balanced food except clean fresh water.
