how much is enough

hi all

I have had my 8 month old bitch for just a week. For the first few days she was happy with the amount of food I was giving her. Now she is all cow eyed at me in between meals and cries at the spot where her food bowl goes. She seems to be hungry, I haven't given in as yet as I don't know whether she is being a greedy cow or is genuinely hungry. Should I increase her food portions or give her extra meals. At the moment she is having 1x 250 grms puppy meat twice a day. The tin says this is enough. Could it be that I am walking her too much she's out for an hour twice a day in a field and a street walk at night.

please help i don't know what to do for the best for her.

Check with Julie (Soverenstaff) as she's a breeder,  but I thought they should have 3-4 meals a day at that age but you could always check her site as she has alot of info on her site.

Sorry, read it wrong thought it was 8 weeks. Having a blonde moment. I'd have thought twice a day was about right. Sorry ignore my other reply please.

Hi all

 

Thanks for the tips you have made my day. Will follow your instructions and keep you posted to her well being. I'm off now to roll in the mud with her for an hour. I hate the British weather. It is always wet. She loves it though .

 

Many thanks

Chrissy and Sheera
