Happy Holiday's K.C. & Shelby!!!!!




Happy Holidays, Donna!

It has been a few years since we’ve last communicated…. Both our schnoodles are doing fantastic and we absolutely adore them (we got them in 2004 and 2005). K.C. (gray) has a super smooth coat and is very active. She loves swimming in the pool and “surfs” on the floating lounge. They have a ball that they swim, too.

However, Shelby (our darker one) is not as active as K.C. and is built stockier. She is gaining too much weight and we have been really cognificant of how much we are feeding her, but evidently it is still too much.

We have been giving them dry food in the morning at 7am, and then dry food mixed with 1 heaping spoon of wet food around 4pm. Because of K.C.’s allergy to corn, they get corn-free, natural products.

My husband thinks it might be best just to feed them 1 x per day in the afternoon. Can you please give us your thoughts on this? Now that it is colder, we are walking them (since KC will still go swimming and Shelby not).

Thank you so much for your advice and happy holidays to you and your family !!!!!




Oops, forgot the most important fact:

The doctor said that KC is healthy at her 15 pounds, but Shelby is 15.8 lbs and needs to be 13 lbs. Do you have any idea how much calories for a 13 pound schnoodle?

Thanks!
