Diet for 11 week staffy.

We are going to pets at home on saturday but before that we are feeding little man the food he came with which is 1 mug of wagg complete puppy food twice a day and 150g puppy growth and protection pedigree chum twice a day and i would like to know if i should change his food to a better brand or stick with what i am giving him?

I would change it, but gradually - a very small amount per day for each meal. Wagg isn't the greatest, but Chum's worse!

ok thanks, i will no longer feed him chum, i think it may be too rich anyway. i might try burns....thanks.

Have you considered buying online? You get a wider range and its cheaper.

I use www.chemistdirect.co.uk really good

ok i have have a gander, thanks.

I agree with the others. Chum - eurgh!

When in doubt, look at the first three ingredients on the food packaging. They will be the ingredients which make up most of the food, so if one of those ingredients is something like water, wheat, ash, etc, I'd choose another.

I know i should of thought twice about feeding him chum....so i will get a decent make tomorrow.

I'd also think about putting him on 3 meals a day so he isn't getting too much at one go, cos he could end up having a poorly belly.

There wasn't much you could have done if that's what the breeders were feeding him. It has to be a gradual change to avoid tummy upsets.

He seems fine on 4 little meals a day so far but if i notice anything he will go to the vets or i will put him on 3 meals a day, ok i still have the wagg but i am going to pets at home this wednesday so i will check all the puppy food then x
