I would prefer if she would gain a couple ounces but she is "ok" right now. But she only poops twice per day when she's eating a mix of raw and Acana, so that seems about right. She gets 2 tbsp of Acana in the morning and 30g of raw with a few drops salmon oil at night.

That's good that she hasn't been pooping as much on Acana/raw and I totally understand the weight issue-- if we feed B even a little under his usual (1oz Acana per meal + raw turkey crumble 3x/week), he drops weight like mad and his spine/hips show way too much. I wonder how accurate the Acana feeding guidelines are for our Chis, since I believe their metabolisms are a little different than bigger dogs.
