I'm not sure, hopefully 2 weeks isn't long enough to do any lasting damage, the vet will advise you I'm sure xx

Bakers is certainly not a great food, full of additives and fillers, not much nutrient value. This is our recommended dry food list but jameswelbeloved and wainwrights are also good at a reasonable price

You were only exceeding the recommendation by 5 minutes so I think it will be fine.

20 mins away = 40 mins there and back = 25 mins too much.
