Re: Weaning puppies - how much etc
This is a tricky one as you have such big pups compared to mine.
We were told that by 7-8 weeks she should be on 5 meals a day.
But she only has a heaped teaspoon per meal, an when she's finished she walks away.
We do scrambled egg & mashed pre'soaked weaning kibble at breakfast, then lunchtime she has chicken breast/kibble then tea is chicken again an supper is just warm mashed kibble very watery.
We don't add any whelpi as she is still drinking from mum regularly.
She gets 15mins to eat what she wants, but have to make sure she hasn't recently fed from mum.
We are aiming for 8am 12pm 4pm 8pm 12midnight. An will stay with mum overnight until she is 9 weeks old.
Im not sure you could overfeed them as most dogs stop when they are full, but do you feed them all out of seperate bowls so you can judge who is getting what.
I think if you go by how much kibble they should have then deduct for any meat/egg etc
Hopefully others with bigger pups will be of more help
