Is my pup getting enough food

[KINGSHOOTER]

I have a 6 months old springer pup she has 2 mugs ( aprox 200g ) of bakers complete once aday and she seems to be always hungry for more is this enough food and is this normal??? B)

Can you see her rib's ?? B)

Has she been wormed ?? B)

Flea'd ??

 

I may be inclined to give 150g morning and the same 150g at evening time.

At 6 months she is still developing so a little too much is far better than too little.

 

Appetite does vary from dog to dog, also depends on exercise

Kingshooter,

 

Its a must that you break your feeds to three a day for such a young Springer, six months is still very young and he/she will be burning energy at a crazy rate.

 

If you give its whole intake in one feed, half of it will just pass through so 3 small feeds will do you dog all good and no bad.

 

I have one at 9 months now and she still gets three feeds a day, the energy she has blown me away for many months now, but this feeding pattern has contributed to a slim but very powerfully built bitch.

 

The last two ribs should be just visible, but others may say different.

 

Good luck with it,

 

Oh it dont matter how much it gets, a springer will always want more.

 

Mine got to her feed and didnt stop until eating untill she couldnt get any more into her mouth, she looked like a football and couldnt sit down because it caused her to cry. It was dry food so I had to take the day off to ensure there was loads of water for her otherwise it would have killed her.

 

Watch em like a hawk little buggars they are.
