I noticed that they come in 2.2 lb bag for 30$. I'm not opposed to the price as I want her well fed, but how long would that last one dog?

We do 1/2 ZP and 1/2 prey model raw here. ZP is awesome. I would guess a 2.2 lb bag would last a long time for a chi.
I don't know if u can get it Canada..... maybe find a store that will ship there?

Actually after looking for a bit longer I found a store about 30 minutes away! Going to finish up the bag of kibble I have and then put her on either HK or ZP

Good for you! Both my dogs and I preferred ZP over HK. HK is very vegetable-y and harder to dish out. Alot messier. With ZP, just throw it in the bowl and add water if you want.

Yeah I'm about 80% sure it'll be ZP! Now, she loves loves to chew, so what can I get her to chew on that she will love?

We have been feeding primarily ZP for almost 2 months & fed it on/off for a year before that. We rotate between prey model raw, ZP, HK & S&C's. Anyway, I do definitely recommend it. I'd recommend adding water to it so they have plenty of moisture to help with digesting. It also comes in 11lb bags which is actually a bit cheaper than purchasing the 2.2lb bags. One 2.2lb bag would last one average sized Chi about 5 weeks. I also recommend adding in chicken wings and/or necks a couple times a week to help with dental health as well.

Glad you found a supplier near(ish) by!!

I can get it locally for $30/bag but I can get it online for $24-ish a bag and free shipping so it may be worth checking.

How much you will use depends on the weight and age of the baby.

When I had 2 who were then 3.5 lbs., a bag lasted about 2.5 weeks. Now with my 3 a bag lasts 10-11 days.

I was looking at those. I think she'll love them! I'm just not sure what size haha. I've never had such a small puppy before, but I love her =D

If you are looking for a non-edible chew, my crew LOVES these:
FlexiChew® Bone - Original | Product Finder | By Brand | Nylabone®

Those look interesting! Do they have any flavor? She doesn't seem to like stuff with no flavor

LoL I think I usually get the 6". Small enough for a chi to handle but big enough that the Boston Terrier can't fly through it.

Awsome!! Thank you

Some of the nylabones have flavor but honestly...my crew goes NUTS for them. Even the none flavored ones!! They'll fight over them & everything. LOL I have to get the durachews though. They'll actually EAT the flexi chews! I'd get the medium bullies. The smalls are great for puppies but they don't last as long as the slightly bigger ones. Even the medium my crew will go through quickly but they're quite aggressive chewers. Also antlers are great for them to chew as well & last quite a long time.

I feed my chi's ZP (a 1kg bag last 5 days :laughing1
They do fantastic on it :coolwink:

I also give them nylabones,bully sticks and antlers to chew :coolwink:

My girls don't care for nylabones too much, they love bully sticks and beef tendons though. I always get the 6'inch bully sticks and they last forever with my girls. They also like antlers.

I just started adding ziwipeak to my girls kibble.
