How Much Kibble?

[BB1]

Hi Guys,

Long time reader, first time poster! Wondering if you may be able to help me out.

I have two British Bulldogs, one male 11 months old and 1 female, only 12 weeks old. My boy has previously been on Pro-Plan puppy but we have been slowly changing him over to Blackhawk puppy over the past couple of weeks. I've had a look at the feeding guidelines and I'm a tad confused. My boy usually gets a cup in the morning and a cup and a half at night and this seems to be a good amount. He's weight is pretty much spot on, his coat is great and he LOVES his food. On the website, it states that we should be feeding my girl about 600grams a day, which I assume is about 4-5 cups a day... Is this right? How much do you think she should be getting fed?

In regards to their overall diet, Kibble is pretty much the extent of it. My boy has always had treats, (liver treats and stuff like that) during the day, but not a huge amount, just enough to keep him buried in his kong if we go out for a few hours!

Any advice is appreciated.

Oh, forgot one last thing.. My young bloke is about 25kg and my little girl comes in at a very cute 5.6kg!

Thanks!

I think you're reading the table wrong! 600g is for a 20kg 6-12 week old puppy.

Ahhh that makes sense! I was reading it as if 20kg being the dogs ideal adult weight!

Thanks!
