Bella went to the Vets on Thursday the 7th just gone, the vet said she was under wight which I knew as I only had her not even a week.. But for 10week old pup she was 5.1kgs is that good or what? As the vet want me to feed her three times a day, once in the morning, lunch and dinner. But she is not a very big eater and she doesn't like Weet Bix like the vet told me to give her in the morning, so what else can I give her in the morning please Smile

Darcy was 8kg at 16 wks so I'd personally say she's fine and she looks fine in your pics. Smile

My pup wasn't much bigger at 5.6kg at that age. i was feeding 4 meals a day till 12 weeks, which I am surprised the vet didn;t suggest.

My pup loved nature diet puppy at that age before i switched her to raw.

Pebbles was 4.5 kilos at 9 and half weeks so i would say your pup is fine...she looks good in your picture too.
We were feeding 4 meals /day until she was 3 months old, then only 3.

Did i read this right that your vet said to give her Weet bix in the morning? I assume Weet bix is a breakfast cereal similar to Wheatabix here in the UK? If that is the case i wouldn't give it to the pup. A lot of dogs don't digest wheat very well. I give Pebbles the same dry food (Arden Grange) at each meal plus some dog treats for training. Smile

Ive not had a pup but I don't think weetabix has any nutritional value, what about some scrambled eggs? I've just changed to raw but daisy loved scrambles eggs!
