Weight
Hi,
My best boy Nero is now 5mths old, his weight gain has slowed down, he has weeks where he has no weight gain at all, is this normal? He weighs 11.3kg.He has been on Purina HA kibble for four weeks now due to a suspected allergy.

Re: Weight
Opium was taking about 400g per week on average at that age but I also had weeks where she was barely taking 100g. I think it coincides with a growth spurt.
It might be that your boy is compensating with a bit more growth now compared to slower growth during his suspected allergy period ?

Re: Weight
Sounds quite normal. As long as he doesn't start to look 'thin' it's okay.
