Leaping into the Weekend fueled by addictionpetfoods || AD 🙌
⠀
Is there a flavour of the #Addiction Wild Islands kibble that Nadira won’t eat? 🙊
⠀
It’s been pretty phenomenal how the little girl who I battled to get to eat, back in the day, is now one of the least fussiest dogs in the house (Torque takes the cake with being the ultimate least fussy dog); to think, we tried everything: different kibble brands, raw meals, fresh raw meals, everything, and I remember the days where I cried because she would not eat anything. 🥴
⠀
So, what’s changed? Looking back (because hindsight is a brilliant thing) I was definitely guilty of overfeeding and letting her indulge in treats and “nice food” all the time🙈. I tried to make her eat more than she wanted because “that’s what was recommended” and I think she was just trying to tell me “woah, woman, stop giving me so much food” for her activity levels. After I made the decision to switch her from raw, back to kibble, I cut her food right back and only gave her small amounts that I could see she was finishing based on her “average activity lifestyle” which included going for walks and weekend adventures. 👍
⠀
The biggest change in her appetite happened when we started doing the agility thing; it was more physically demanding, she’s started to burn calories faster, and I’ve maintained her portion size because she still dictates to me how much she wants to eat. She isn’t a gluttonous pig like Torque🐷 who has no concept of “over-eating” and will continue to eat until he gets an upset stomach. We still like to switch up the flavours of kibble every month, which the addictionpetfoods team has been so wonderfully supportive of🧡, and I do “dress” her dinners up with supplements, gravy, and (more recently) the raw alternative dog food from #AddictionNewZealand - but it’s been so awesome not stressing about her eating anymore. She now gets so excited for dinner time, and gobbles her meals down without hesitation. 😍
⠀
This was my first introduction to: feed what is right for your dog, including the amount of food. Torque eats twice as much as she does (and the same amount as Dagon) because he burns calories like it’s hot.🔥🥵 ...

A happy won't look Wednesday's fueled by addictionpetfoods viva la venison!

We have changed up our protein recently from the kangaroo to venison and the pups have been going wild for it.

We stay fairly active most days, this food helps keep us strong and healthy for all our activities. The bags can come in sizes as small as 4lbs which is perfect to bring on the go.
