Just need to clarify amount of dry food
So for exampe it says on back of food label -
Feeding guide -
dog size Expected adult weight Age Daily feed (g)
Medium 12-25kg 6-12 months 260-370g
So looking at the back on label broxi would fall under this category, so i ashume then that 'Daily feed' means anywhere between 260-370 should be given the whole day? and not at one time, i feed my pup 3 times a day still and i prefer to feed him 3 times,untill hes an adult and il feed him twice a day, (im not a fan of one feed a day in adult) just personal preference.

Re: Just need to clarify amount of dry food
The moral of the story however is showing me that im over feeding my dog,hes in fantastic shape however i guess he wont be for long if i keep this up.
It seems that im giving him around 600grams at least a day rather than 260-370

Re: Just need to clarify amount of dry food
Hi
We normally take the amount they say and seperate it into her three meals a day. Also remember it is a guideline some pups may need more or less. Hope it helps

Re: Just need to clarify amount of dry food
Thanks,
Because hes back on dry food now i bought some wainwrights and today i went out and bought some scales so i can do this properly,after weighing out 300grams i noticed that i have been giving him roughly that so i thought to myself i have been guessing well,but after reading some more i noticed that what i put in his bowl is roughly what he should be eatting the whole day where as i was giving him nere 3 times that amount,i will cut down alittle and see how he goes with that, like i said hes in fantastic shape tho hes only back on the dry food now so il keep an eye on at adjust if needs be.
