Silly but dont know how much to feed Toby!

[Sara750S]

Toby is 8 months old. After a recent tummy upset when vet suggested a gentle meat and biscuit combo.

Since then he has really enjoyed this so we have continued it. So now he is loving his Chappie with a few James Wellb biscuits on top.

But I dont know how much to feed him - the tin says a large tin per day but that is about £1.20? Does that sound about right?

I fed Quinn Chappie when I was waiting for a dog food delivery as had completely ran out, he only has gluten free.     He had a big tin per day, half in morning and half in the evening.    I don't think he was too impressed going back to completely dry food as he loved Chappie.

One of the fat tins? Poor Vegas only got a third of a normal sized can twice a day

This is what I cant work out as the big tin says 1 and abit tins a day!

Bit confused on his feeding as sort of tumbled into this wet food after his upset tummy but he does seem to enjoy it?!!

I feed raw so not sure if this applies but the guidelines I have been given are 4-6% of body weight for pups until 9 months and then 2-3% of body weight thereafter.

My 14 week old's food weighed out looks loads!

1.5 tins is a bit too much, looks like I was overfeeding Quinn with 1 can a day - he didn't complain 

Must admit, I've never weighed his dry food either, I just feed by eye.    1 Can seemed right for him and if he went on it again, I'd still give him 1 Can a day unless of course he looked porky.
