We've had Dexter on Barking Heads puppy food for a while now and its certainly been successful in terms of righting his 'loose' movements, but this last couple of days he's been a bit slow to eat it, whereas normally its all scoffed in seconds. I've even taken to letting him eat it out of my hand to encourage him to eat)
Is this normal for a 16 week dog to slow down on the speed he eats food ? Before this I've been wondering whether to increase his food (he is on 50g 3 times a day) but now I'm thinking not - but 150g per day doesn't seem very much.
On the packet the recommended range for his age & current weight (if the weight guide is for the current weight of dog & not the projected adult weight) is quite a wide range. How do I know how much to give ?
He's not been weighed for a few weeks officially but he is certainly growing & seems bright & happy.
