When is a puppy not a puppy with a SBT.
I'm trying to work out the percentage of raw meat I should give our Lucy.
She is 9 month old and weighs 15kg
Do I stick to 6% as she is still growing or lower it a little ?

I would start with less and if she loses weight up it a bit as it's much easier to put weight on than to lose it! maybe go for 3/4% as a start? xx

Hi Sue, good to see another senior citizen on here. When is a puppy not a puppy? How long is a piece of string? Laughing 
If, like me, Lucy is your first staff, prepare to be totally converted. I've had dogs all my life,GSDs Dobe,Yorkie, but never had a dog with so much personality or such an abundance of love to give. My wife thinks I'm a bit obsessed with Bacchus! Absolute nonsense of course......I'm TOTALLY obsessed with him.
I've found this site invaluable, especially in the early days as I had no idea what to expect with a staffy pup. Great advice freely given by people who care about our lovely breed.

P.S.
Glad to see you've gone down the raw route. To my shame, it took me 16 months to be convinced to make the move.

It should be noted that the 6% is of his expected adult weight, not his current weight.
