First heat
Hi all,
Molly seems incredibly hungry since she started her season, just wondered if we should be feeding her any more food than normal?
Im sure shes grown a fair amount in the last couple of weeks also!

Re: First heat
we didn't feed Tilly any more and I don't really recall ever reading any advice to the contrary , on the plus side at least she isn't losing her appetite Maybe someone else will come along soon and offer more advice

Re: First heat
It's only because she normally eats all her food ,but wonders around the kitchen to say hi to everyone before returning to her bowl to finish. Since her season shes eating like theres no tomorrow and hunting in the kitchen for scraps!

She's preparing her body for pregnancy!
You don't need to increase her food - if you do she'll just get fat!

No need to feel silly , I never thought about that either as we didnt experience it with Tilly , though she did eat less on her 2nd season

Re: First heat
Yup started her season on Friday, just 6 and a half months took us by surprise! My oh is now changing her pantyliners! Given how grossed out he was on day one we'be cine along way the dog pants are a wise investment!

Re: First heat
Wish they'd been around when I had bitches! I used to use old underpants! Well, not for me, personally, you understand.....for the dog!
