Can anyone help please.
« on: February 12, 2012, 01:01:45 PM »
Bit of a long shot but Hopefully one of you nice Cocker owners will be able to help please.

I want to check I'm giving Candy enough food. I no how much I need to give her but being a man I don't have scales  :D

So does anyone have any idea how I could find out how much 195g of food is ? Or could one of you nice people weigh a bit of food and give me a idea of how many pint glasses full it would be or something like that.

Thanks

Depending on the size of the kibble, I filled a pint glass up to the groove bit near the top for 195g.  Odie's kibble is small round JWB size so if yours is larger, it will be less iyswim  :lol2:

Thanks very much for your help  :D :D :D

That's the same food as she's on so thats brilliant.

She seems a bit skinny compared to how Missy was / is so just wanted to check. It must be that's she's just built for speed not for cuddles  :lol2: :lol2:

Well, Odie has only been on JWB for about a month so can't comment on his weight atm but he was on a worker food (he's a show though) - Dr John's Silver which he loved but he never seemed to gain any weight.  He is deceiving as he's very fluffy when dry but looks like a skinned rabbit when wet :lol2:  The good thing is he is eating a good amount of JWB whereas he wasn't on the other one.

How old is Candy?  I'm giving roughly in the middle of the 10-20kg range which seems OK for Odie who is 2.

Think she's 14 or 15 weeks old now. She's quite long and tall nearly as tall as Missy who's 3.5 now. Maybe she will fill out when she slows down with growing

They do go through growth spurts so I wouldn't worry too much if you're feeding her the correct amount.  Odie was nearly 16" tall by the time he was around 7/8 months old and he never got any taller but he did fill out as he got older.   :D

Absolutely true!  We both only drink wine and spirits (so could have measured the kibble in either a wine glass or tumbler for you :005:)
