hi,
we've been looking at burns and autarky puppy foods as both seem to get excellent reviews on here. we'd almost decided to head towards autarky simply because it seems as highly recommended as burns and yet is cheaper per kg.
however, looking on the respective websites the amounts they recommend feeding are significantly different and therefore the price difference may not be as big as i first thought...
for example, for a 5kg puppy under 4 months, autarky recommend 205-220g a day while burns recommend 100g.
is this right? should we follow each individual brand's own recommendation or do the more experienced amongst you have your own rules of thumb? presumably higher quality foods do have greater nutrient density, but is the difference between these 2 brands really as big as this?
there is mention on the burns site about the fact that its superior quality means it is more easily digested and hence feeding quantities are less.
any thoughts? we get bella at the weekend so we are looking at making decisions based on feeding an 8 week show cocker...
thanks all!
