I feel like I'm posting a ton today!
Anyways, So I recently moved in with my boyfriend's family and I've been continuing Bandit's PMR diet. But his parents don't really understand the concept and seem to think that I'm not feeding him enough and he's hungry. They believe that since he begs when they feed Sadie that means he isn't getting enough calories from his diet and even though I explained that its just him wanting what he can't have (the same way Sadie begging for my dinner doesn't mean she's starving) they still seem concerned. I'm trying not to make waves and I'm going to try my hardest to make them understand and keep Bandit on his diet but I want to have some alternatives in mind in case I have to take him off PMR until me and the BF move out. Any suggestions are appreciated :huddle: also if anyone has had any luck explaining the basic science of PMR to someone who just won't do the research I'd love to hear about that, I have a hard time explaining myself because I don't want to make them feel bad about feeding kibble but most of my reasons for PMR are based around avoiding kibble
