My pup is 7 months old and she ways 10kg how much should i be feeding? The same 2-3% of her weight?

I feed her twice a day should I be giving 1 meaty meal mince/chunks and one bone in meal like thigh or drumstick etc?

At 7 months 2/3% should be OK, unless she needs to put a bit of weight on, about 10% of her food should be bone. I feed twice a day and she gets muscle meat twice and something on the bone with one meal most days, does that help?

Ye I will just starting raw so going to wait till she has some variety before I add offal.

Does this sound right, 100g mince for brekkie then 100g mince + a wing or drumstick for tea?

Ah I see, yes start with chicken and add one meat at a time each week if her poo is solid. Yes that sounds OK for a start  Smile You'll know if its too much bone because her poo will be crumbly and white!
