Guest Anonymous Posted May 13, 2003 Posted May 13, 2003 Hi: I am soon getting a Chi, (I am adopting a beautiful 4 year old, 4 lbs.), does anyone have suggestions as to which brand food would be best. I imagine he probably needs very small pieces, since he is so tiny. I've never had a dog this small before, so this is new to me. Thanks!! Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted May 14, 2003 Posted May 14, 2003 Hi: Thanks for the suggestion. I was actually hoping for more of a mini solid food available at pet stores. The doggy I am getting is 4 years old, so I think he can and should probably have solid food. Any other suggestions? Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted May 14, 2003 Posted May 14, 2003 Hi: Thanks again! I don't think they have that brand here, but I will definitely look for a canned product. It sounds like your dogs are VERY lucky, I wish someone would make me fresh chicken each day :) Thanks again! Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted May 14, 2003 Posted May 14, 2003 Hi: I am going on Saturday to see him. I have to fill out an application etc. I am not sure how the process works. Hopefully I will have him very soon though. I am VERY excited!! Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted May 14, 2003 Posted May 14, 2003 Thanks!! Please think about me on Saturday, and keep your fingers crossed for me. Silly superstitions, I know, but it can't hurt. Quote
sheltielover Posted May 14, 2003 Posted May 14, 2003 Please, please post pic's when you get him!! :) Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted May 14, 2003 Posted May 14, 2003 I don't know how. I already have a photo of him, but I don't know how to post it on here. Quote
Carolk9s Posted May 14, 2003 Posted May 14, 2003 You might want to consider staying AWAY from canned or 'wet' food for your chi. If you can feed a quality kibble I think that is a better idea. Why? Because of their teeth. Canned or wet foods can increase the tarter build up on those tiny teeth. If the dog you get is already on a certain kind of kibble and doing well, probably a good idea to stick with it. Little dogs have just as many teeth as big dogs, all crammed into a tiny little mouth. Yes the teeth are smaller too but there is still just so much room in there and tarter builds up quickly. Quote
