txsbbtc Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 So, Allie and I have finally agreed on a food that we both like. She likes the taste, I like the nice poops. However, after a couple days, she started something strange. At 2 or 3am, she would wake me up, desperate to go outside to poop a massive pile. Allie has slept through the night since I brought her home, so this was very strange. It took me a little time, but I finally figured out the problem. It was.......drum roll please......the scoop I was using to dole out her food. The darn thing claimed to be 1 cup. But, my trusty measuring cup begs to differ. According to that, the scoop (leveled off) was actually a touch more than 1.5 cups! I was feeding her way more food than I intended. Since she likes this food, she was eating every bite. Changed to an actual 1 cup measurer, and all is well.

Glad you figured out the problem. 4Health Grain Free Beef from Tractor Supply Company Has to be the Beef flavor. She vetoed the chicken, duck, fish, pork, and lamb.

txsbbtc Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 Yes, she was enjoying the extra food. When I put her bowl down now, she gives me a "that's it?" look.
