hello istoryans.. if u could help me out, id greatly appreciate it..

I recently acquired a 6 month old shitzu pup last christmas..grabe ka adorable, lambing, playful, smart, except for one problem. kung ting feeding time na mag away jud mi duha... gamay ra au xa ug kaon... like half ra sa iya food iyang mahurot.. i feed him twice a day (morning and gabii), and on both times d jd nya mahurot iya pagkaon. pero wla ra kau ko na alarmed at first kay ina2 man jd xa since i had him, and wla rman sad changes sa iya, hyper ghpon kau.. i asked the previous owner kng inana jud cya mkaon sa ila pero d man sd cya ka attest gd daw kay gbutang mani xa sa cage kuyg sa iya uban igsuon nya tgaan ra cla food kng ting feeding time na nya cla tnan manglumba ug kaon mag ilog sa doggie bowl nya n less than 2 minutes, hurot na ila food. hehe..

so anyway, I first fed him with kana ra btaw gi pack na dog food na mpalit sa petshops na 1 kilo ra, mao 2 gmay ra au kaon. I figured na maybe wla jud 2 lami na food so after 2 days nchange ko and bought Pedigree for pups at a local grocery. nkaon na xa mas daghan2 kysa a2 first dogfood nya and I was satisfied. a week after kay mao 2 nagkahinay napd han2d kailngn napd nmo hungitan, and even f hungitan d ghpon nya mahurot mag 1 hour nlng mo ug tinutukay.. then niad2 ko CVD recently and told them bwt my stuation ana xa basn pilian lang jd daw ako pup, she recommended science diet.. buslot bulsa kay mahal2 jud 400+ nya gmay ra au.. pero i gave it a shot. xaro nmn sd d pa xa gnahn ani.. but still the same problem ghpon.. haaayz, I'm getting woried najd and considering of leting him go to a vet para mpa check up... pls give me ur advices. thnks.

btw, i asked the previous owner unsa ila gpakaon nya before..vitality daw ila g.give sa ila doggies... pero d man gd ko nahan mpalit a2 kay sinako bya dghan au nya mayb d rapd xa gnhn sayang kaau..

sagdi lng na sis....separation anxiety na cya...kumbaga mangluod knuhay ba...
butangi lng nag pagkaon ang iya bowl kung cya ra isa inyu pet...and let him
play like there's no tomorrow...kung gutumon na, mukaon mn jd na hurot
pa giud na...kung mawa na ang anxiety niya, i tell you, ikaw na mgkaboang kung
nganu kuwang ang imo gibutang ky di maabtan ug 1 minute hurot dayun hehehe

kung mubalik na iya appetite, dha nka sugod ug pili sa dogfood nga muangay niya...
ayaw sa kaayo palit anang uber ka mahal although sulit pd kau pero sa pagka karun
nga wa pa cya nabalikan sa appetite, ok ra ang vitality or pedigree or any other brands...
basta di lng sa supermarket nga adunay tatak nga bonus hehe...

1) naa man tig 1 kilo ng vitality puppy bro... try sa caminade.
it is advisable to continue whatever dogfood nga gihatag sa breeder
ang changes, if you opt to, should be done gradually

2) kuhaan gamay imo feeding, start with half his usual meal.
also, try the 15-mins. trick... get his bowl, finish or not finish within 15mins
after you have given it to him. of course, this process requires you to be a little
strong-hearted.

3) LOL i cant help but laugh upon reading CVD (again!)... walay definite nga diagnosis but
still able to push for their own product (science diet) huh... lmao, classic cvd trick tsk tsk tsk

ingon ani pud ang mga dogs namo diri (golden[RIP] and minpin [4.mo]) share lang ko sa akong experience and sa ako na learn..

sa golden (RIP) kulang rah ug exercise.. mas mo kaon siya kung maka exercise siya.. fed him 50% dog food and 50% saw dust

sa min pin(4 mo.) ako i.basa gamay ang iyang food.. mahurot niya ang 50g of food. fed her the alpo 2 in 1 (katong pwede ma saucy wet or crunchy dry).. note: nag adjust pa ko.. eventually ang water mag ka anam ug gamay until dry ang dog food kay kapoy ug punit na basa2x na stool..

------------

if ma hurot niya ang food with his siblings try removing the food after 15 minutes or kung di na siya mo kaon.. eventually maka ka.ton ra na siya to eat or else wa siya food.. (sorta same logic)

Like I mentioned before maka tabang ang exercise..a tired puppy is a happy puppy.. try playing games or giving her walks 45mins. before eating.. preferably before breakfast, and don't forget to watch out sa signs of fatigue..

You can also try ilang tawag ug 'free feeding'.. kanang i.biling lang ang bowl with food.. <- daghan ni issue just google lang ang effects or unsa..

-----------------

hope that helped.. good luck!
