Guidelines should be on the tin. What are u feeding him ?

At 8 wks u need to feed 4 times a day kinda like 8,12,4,8 o'clock is what I do.

i'm feeding her pedigree puppy

To be honest, I wouldn't feed tinned food, and I certainly wouldn't feed pedigree chum! It isn't the best around.

Tinned food is 80% water (give or take a couple of % depending on the brand). You'd be much better off giving a decent quality dry food.

If you really do want to use tinned, though, you can get a rough idea of the amount you need from the blurb on the tin - just weigh her, work out the amount you need & divide the amount between 4 meals.

List of recommended dry foods below:

We go by the guidelines and than just adjust according to level of activity and how she looks.

thank you for your comments

My last dog Zac was fed pedigree tinned puppy food by the breeder. We carried on with it but after a few weeks he developed rash bit like eczema. It turn out he was allergic to it due to all the rubbish in it and he had a condition called Atopy. We changed his food straight away and his Atopy cleared up.

I'd give bakers over pedigree chum and that's just as bad lol

I'd go the other way around - there are so many more additives in Bakers than in Pedigree. Mind you, I wouldn't feed either of them!
