    Ok so we are in the process of changing Hollie onto Simpsons premium 80/20/0 kibble from the trash the breeder had her on. :mad:

    My question is the amount of daily food has or will decrease from 345g a day to 100g a day!!!!!
    Isn't she going to be hungry??? With such a drop of meal?

    Thanks again everybody

    Xx

    Hunger is caused by more than food quantity - it's about nutritional quality too (so you can eat a smaller quantity of nutritious food and still not feel hungry compared to a larger quantity of poorer food). I think she'll be fine once she gets used to it :)

    As an added bonus you will have much less poo to collect! :)

    Is it Simpson's premium puppy?

    Why do you think the recommended daily amount is 100g? I mean, how are you reading the feeding guide table?

    Sorry it's 120g a day!!!

    the guide says

    10-20kg weight and 3 months old is between 120 and 200kg a day

    Hollie is 14 weeks and weighs 10.2kg and is on 3 meals a day

    At 4 months the range is 125-225kg a day for the same weight range so will adjust accordingly

    If you ask her I think she'll go for the 200kg per day end of the spectrum ;D

    I've got the guide in front of me and it actually says ' expected adult weight' ::)

    Which of course will be 20-40kg which is 200-350g


    Sorry for the misunderstanding and note to self.....read things properly next time!!!!!!

    200kg? Wow, that's a lot of food! I'm sure she wouldn't say no, though ;)
