Hello all,  I would like some advice please.......I have a 5 month old Bullmastiff male puppy who currently weighs 24kgs and his last vet check on Wednesday the vet commented on the fact he looked nice and lean and a good healthy weight and height for his age......we currently feed him on Proplan Robust Puppy dry food which he loves, we have always from day one as per breeder advice given him a very small amount of wet James Wellbeloved puppy food as a mixer.......firstly do you recommend this wet mixer ? and also we have read numerous things that contradict each other regards the amount of food he should have and how often, he is currently fed 3 times a day........at what age should we reduce to 2 times a day and how much food should we give him ? .......the only minor issue health wise he has had is a recent enlarged anal gland that the vet had to clear........the vet tells us this could be the way the glands are positioned and/or he is not going fully to the toilet each time.......would the small amount of wet food he has cause this ? I would really appreciate your advice and opinions. Kim

I will usually drop the lunch time food when the pup starts to loose interest in it but I think it a bit too soon for a breed the size of yours as you would need to increase the remaining two and they may then be too large for the pup - have you asked the breeder as they would be the best informed.

As to the food he likes it, the vet is pleased with him so I would leave well alone.

Hi, Yes keep him on 3 meals a day till 6 months old and then cut down to 2 meals
morning and evening increasing the amount you give him.
Continue to feed 2 meals a day even when adult. I give my adults a third in morning and a larger
main meal in evening. I feed mine raw tripe mixed with a complete food and sometimes raw beef or lamb mince mixed with a complete food.Hope this helps.
