Hi all I have a 16 week old pup chi his name is Tuc & we live in the UK. We have started feeding him raw food & are a bit unsure how much to feed him? I found a calculator that was posted on this site. He is 1.9kg & we feed him 2 meals a day 30g each meal and some soft treats like cooked liver bits, cheese. Is 60g of raw food a day enough for him? He ate his first raw sprat today no problem but how often do I give him fish as I don't give him any fish oil. If anyone can help please. Tino ![]() [/img] |

That's 2.1oz so no not really. For his adult size I'd prob feed half that amount again since he's 4lb at 4 months if expect him to be around the 6lb mark so would go for 1.5oz per meal. Once he starts maturing you can gauge his food amount but his body condition.
Congrats on your pup can't wait to see pics

He may slow down growing soon. My pups always grow really slowly so I'm not too good with others and I know nothing about smooths!!
I don't feed fish as mine don't like it but they get pure 100% salmon oil every other day.
