I've just gota 7 week old DDB puppy and not sure how much to feed her. The breeder has given us a list of what to feed her but not how much. We are changing her to barf anyway but just wondering if anyone knows the % of body weight she should be fed per day. I feed my boxer 3% of his bodyweight per day but was wondering if its more for puppies?

What are you feeding her?

The old rule was that you fed ¾ ounce of food per pound bodyweight for a growing puppy, reducing to ½ ounce of food per pound maintenance for an adult.

at the moment we are feeding her a small cup of eukanuba dry puppy food with a bit of cooked mince or scrambled egg 4 times a day as this is what the breeder was feeding her. We gave her a chicken wing aswel today and she loved it. Should we change to barf quickly or slowly?

How much does she weigh, and how much does the food weigh?

I have no idea about barf because I don't feed that way; I'm sure someone who does will be along soon to advise you.

she weighs about 5kgs and i thing we feed about 250g per day

'About' 5 kilos is 'about' 11 pounds. By the old rule she should be getting 'about' 8½ ounces of food a day (a bit more than half a pound) or 'about' 240 grams. So if your figures are correct she's getting about the right amount. Make sure you weigh her weekly and increase her food proportionately.

ok thanks alot for your help
