    Tyne is now about 20kgs. She's still on Simpsons salmon and potato puppy kibble. It's very good and she's so healthy and shiny and full of life.
    However, the portions (3 times a day) are so large to keep her weight up and I'm wondering if she needs to go onto something else? I want to cut her down to 2 meals a day as soon as I can but not sure she can cope with all that just split in 2.
    Anyone had this problem?
    Thanks.

    How old is Tyne? We had Benson on the same puppy food. It is very good, and although he did thrive we switched to another good quality puppy food as he got a little too light. We kept him on the puppy food until was about 12 months old or so. He weighted around 27/28kgs at 12 months, pretty much at 2.5 years what he weighs now, albeit a kg or so heavier.

    Tyne is 23 weeks old. She's still doing well on it so would really Like to keep going with it. It's just the amount really! I think I'll try and cut her lunch down gradually and give her more at breakfast and dinner time and see how we go.

    Good idea! At the same age we switched Benson to bob and lush, he was so skinny! Kept him on that for 12months switched to Millies Wolfheart. Bramble our 7 month old pup is also on Bob and lush puppy food, 3 small meals a day..lunch 50g and 90g both morning and night. She has lunch alternate days, and kongs on the other days until we phase lunch out completely.
