Purina Beta Puppy?

Hi im feeding this to my 13wk old staffy, she seems to eat it and enjoy it.....instead of feeding once or twice a day i just leave the bowl down as my mother in law always had staffs and she used to do this and they seem to eat it better, and slower lol...just wondering if its a decent enough food and if i should add anything to it now and again for extra goodness?....we give her chicken now and then but not sure what else?

It isn't a food I'd buy. I'm not saying it's the worst, but it isn't good. Your mother in law's dogs may well do well on it, but they would probably do even better on something else!

Here's a link that deals with dry food recommendations...

I've never liked leaving food down all day, as I think it encourages overeating (and vermin!) & if your dog needs to lose/put on weight it's all but impossible to adjust it!

A pup ideally needs 3 to 4 small meals a day at equal intervals until about 4 months then 3 meals a day till about 6 months. Then I feed twice a day for life.

thanks for the reply, im thinking about buying wainwrights next food i get which ill be buying on tuesday 15kg bag. should i slowly introduce it, or is it ok to just switch once the beta is finished?

Never leave down food. Remember if there are always cookies in the jar you don't want cookies.
A hungry dog/food drive is a lot easier to train.

Also do not let your puppy get overweight as it can cause arthritis both from the increased strain of the weight and from the accelerated growth.

Puppys should get puppy specific food, as dog food for older dogs has more "fillers".

yeah i understand.....she does seem ok eating this way but will give it a go see if i can start feeding her 4 times a day instead...

Don't just change it over, she'll get a poorly tum. When you get the Wainwrights, mix it with the Beta, just a little at first then increase over 5-7 days until it's all Wainwrights.
