Topic Dog Boards / Feeding / my fussy 5 month old bullmastiff!
- By kellyh367 [gb] Date 27.03.05 17:34 UTC
I have a male bullmastiff who has just turned 5 months and is stating to be a little fussy with his food. He's on Beta dry puppy food. I've added rice, tuna, tripe,mince and gravy to his meals and he will eat it but he'll only eat 2 meals per day. I add 1 cup of dried food to the tripe etc, is this enough or too much ? or should i be giving him something else????   HELP !!!!

2 Meals per day is the norm tbh. Most people regardless of the breed they have feed this way. I would say that the ammount of food excactly, depends on the individual dog. Its better for your dog (especially larger breed dogs) to be a bit lean anyway. So just judge how much you should feed by his body frame, size, activity levels etc!

I have a almost 5 month old ddb ( french mastiff), and she is fed twice a day, just the dried nothing added, but i do give her some fish in oil as a treat twice a week, she has a mug in the morning and again at tea time, i will stick to twice a day for the rest of her life , i think its better for large breeds to be fed like tjis.

Hope that helps, Sarah x

thanks very much sarah, i think i'll try just dry food for a while and just give him treats a few times per week.
