Hey just trying to figure out how much to feed my pup shes 7 months and 10 kg (shes small built) I've been feeding 2-2.5% of her body weight but it really doesn't look much and shes been trying to get into the bucket lately she does have a bit of a belly though but that could be due to limited exercise because it's been windy and pouring down lately and it takes me to get her out the house so it's been like 1 35 min walk and 1-2 10-15 minute ones(when shes really needing to pee lol).

I read somewhere that you need more than 2-3% of body weight for pups so just wondering if I should maybe up it to 4-5%?

It took me to get her to eat for awhile she hated every kibble I tried even top brands like Orijen/taste of the wild and would only eat wet food(nature diet) for a week before getting bored of it not sure if thats why shes small but she doesn't look unhealthy or anything

Bane is 6 months and weighs 19kg and he is on about 700g a day so around the 4% mark I think! Start her on a certain weight and see how she goes Smile It may take a week or two to get right!
