recomendations for 5 month staff diet .

hi,our little lady has been on a dry food diet since weve had her from seven weeks . shes suddenly turning her nose up at her meals, even though we give her different flavours weekly, but were thinking of changing her food, and introducing a few home made treats once a week to build her up . she was tiny only 2.8 kilos at her first vet weigh in, and was checked last week and weighed in at 9.5 kilos, so yes shes growing, but people comment on how small she is , and would like to see her beef up a little x shes been eating the james wellbeloved puppy food, the vet recommended, and ive looked at the dry foods advertised on here. but not seen many of these brands in our pets at home shop . I am aware we can by these online, but would like to know what other owners are feeding their pups on x im going to have a look at the homemade treats on here, but obviously dont want to overload her young tum, with too many different foods x any suggestions wouyld be great , thankyou x

Hi and welcome to the forum from Rocky and me.

The James Welbeloved is a good quality food and would be recommended by users of this forum. Rocky used to have this until we changed to Barking Heads.

Hiya from me and Vinnie, I dont feed complete dried so not much help, you could try a little sardines or scrambled egg (no milk) on top just to tempt her. If you decide to change then gradually over 2 weeks to avoid any tummy problems   

hia from me and sasha   they do go through fussy stages from time to time,try a little bit of sardine in the food and see if it helps   

thanks for your replies x gave summer her supper,with two eggs scrambled,no milk,on top,and hey presto she wolfed the lot down x i know eggs can bind you up sometimes, us adults anyway, so next question is how often can i give her eggs,and how many per week included in her dry food diet , thanks very helpfull.

Not too many perhap 1 or 2 a week someone else will be able to help, try the sardines aswell glad it helped xx

You could try Wainwrights kibble. This is James Wellbeloved brand for Pets At Home. You could also try mixing Wainwrights wet food (in trays, not tins) with her kibble. We give this to Meg and she loves it. We also give her Sardines or Mackerel once a week, which is tinned and in Sunflower oil.

Hi and welcome to the forum from me and the zoo xx

thanks so much,we gave summer mackeral in sunflower oil this morning mixed in with the dried food x went down a treat     now off to pets at home with summer for some packs of wet food suggested above x thanks again,really helpfull x

Welcome from me and Alfie.
Also Wainwrights with occasional eggs and sardines

Welcome from Iza and me   You will get plenty good advice here.

Hi and welcome from me and my two

Hi and welcome to the forum from Flo and me.. great advice above   

Hi from me & Katy, we also have Wainwrights sometimes with pilchards, scrambled egg or even the occasional raw egg on top   

Hello and welcome from the girls and me

Thank you from all above, summer is now eating with much more interest,I'm giving her the jwb ,wet pouches on top of her dry jwb , and it's working a treat, but can u tell me is three big meals a day enough , we did give her four the other day,but she was sick soon after , so I think she over ate xx

How old is your pup at the moment? I have usually only fed Meg twice a day (breakfast and tea time), sometimes she will not eat her breakfast. Maybe she's watching her figure?

Make sure she is wormed regularly too.

Hi and welcome from us and Suki

Hi again, she's 5 half months, she woofs down breakfast,lunch and tea since we've introduced the wet pouches on top of her dry,last night, she kept hanging around her bowl and looking at me with her big brown eyes, as if to say, I'm starved lol,so gave her fourth meal,and gone in seconds x she's quite small we think anyway, and our vet says she's quite greedy x will be changing her food to junior soon x I'm with pet plan,so she's wormed and flea every four weeks xxx
