update on Bella

Morning all what a lovely day again and im stuck at work

Anyway evrrything is good with Bella is she thriving,growing at a rate of knots, cant believe how quick, being naughty lol, but she has fitted into our mad family like a dream,

Its just a quck question, she is on wainwright puppy dry food , she is having 25gs 4 times a day and she loves it,
On the back of the bag it says medium size dogs 2- 6 months should be having 100-390g a day, how will I know when to up her food, I don't know how much she weighs yet, she has her first jab on the 4th of Aug

I'm so pleased all is going well With feeding, its always a guideline, I prefer to go on the look of the dog, up it if you think she needs it.


Sorry your stuck at work I booked 4 days off, how lucky was that lol Xx

We usually go by the guidelines and adjust based off of the dog's look and activity level. You can weigh them at home if you have a scale. Simply weigh yourself first and then pick them up and weigh yourself again.

Same here. The guidelines are just that - a starting point. Just keep an eye on your pup. She should be growing almost before your eyes! As long as she's chunky (not fat) with good size bones & a healthy 'look' to her, then you're feeding the right amount. If she looks like she's losing a little weight, then just up the portions a bit!

If you dont have your own scales at home just pop into your local vet and pop her on the scales there. They shouldn't mind you just doing that.
