Title: Food at 13 weeks
Post by: Leannieb on January 20, 2014, 05:26:16 PM

Hi please could you let me know how many feeds your puppy was/is on at this age. I'm not sure wether I am feeding max enough. I have followed his routine that was advised by his breeder. He is on 3 meals a day. Breakfast is 7am lunch at 12am and tea at 5pm. He is on royal canin which he seems to enjoy. I use the measuring cup that you get with royal canin and he has a whole cup split into his 3 meals. Thanks in advance x

We had Willow at 8 weeks and we used to give her 4 meals a day 4 hours apart.

If your pup is that bit older and was on 3 meals with the breeder that sounds okay. How much are you giving him at each meal? Does he seem hungry in between meals?

Sorry, just read some of you previous posts and realise you have had Max for a while now. Do you think he is still hungry or hungry between meals?

Hi I think he is still hungry between meals but I also don't want to over feed him. On the cup I have that I measure his food out in I fill it up to the top and its says 8/8. That is split between his 3 meals. Max has been with us since 8 weeks. X

With the full cup do you know hows many grams it is. There is usually a guide on the side of the bag of food but its confusing as usually lists the adult expected weight than the weight now. I know when we first had willow she was having 4 meals of 25g but this increased quickly by the amount each meal time.
