What food to feed miniature pinscher?

Answer 1

In miniature portions.

Seriously, dry cat food is a good option, unless your pincscher is a puppy, in which case start on dry puppy food and move on to dry cat food later; it's small and rich in protein.

Keep providing excercise and don't stress about weighing your dog or its food. If you can't just barely feel its ribs, you're feeding it too much. Any vet will tell you of clients who've travelled overseas and returned horrified at the skinny dogs wandering around. I've had a long line of Gordon Setters whose ribs can't be seen because of their long silky black hair but because of their grazing diet they've all stayed at optimum weight: they eat when they're hungry. I go by the vet's assessment.

This is where dry food is perfect; you can leave a bowl out for your dog to graze through the day. Chances are your pet won't gorge on the food because it's always there; it becomes a different matter if you try to stick to a regime of so many feeds so many times daily.

This is when dogs - and cats - tend to wolf it all down because they know it'll be a while before the next opportunity.

Dogs and cats are grazing animals (meaning they eat when the opportunity arises) and become very secure in the routine that says they can access a bit of food whenever they feel like it.

The same is true for young children, who are also best left to graze (though not on pet food, of course) and doesn't go amiss for adults either: the concept of three full meals at fixed intervals, plus snacks in between, does nothing to promote good health and it's very true that eating small portions when we're actually hungry rather than when society tells us when and what we should eat is possibly the best diet we can follow.

I'd like to add a comment about leaving bowls of dry food around. I keep ceramic rice bowls in the kitchen, one large and one small, for the cat and the dog. We have a problem with ants here in drought conditions and I tried all kinds of clever insect-proof pet bowls to little avail. Frustrated, I bought a jar of Vaseline and rubbed the gel below the bowl's rim. Same with the water bowls. Not an ant in sight, and I've been using this technique successfully for years now.

Answer 2

Miniature pinschers are high energy dogs and require food that supports their need for energy. You should feed your miniature pinscher a diet of organic foods that do not contain fillers. You can provide treats throughout the day that support energy required by the dog between means.
