Re: Help! Feeding is confusing!

The breeder says at 4 months she should go down to 2 meals a day. I'd like to change the tinned food to something of better quality, but I'm not sure how to mix the dried and the tinned so that she gets all the nutrients she needs, or which tinned food to go for. I've read some of the advice on this forum and there seem to be lots of knowledgeable and helpful bods around here, but I just don't know where to start
Any advice would be most gratefully received

Hi! I always stick to 3 meals a day until 6 months of age. The Field & Trial Puppy is fine and if she's doing well on that, I'd continue for another couple of months. Pedigree Puppy is not great, so maybe think about changing to Naturediet, Natures Harvest, Natures Menu or Wainwrights trays from Pets at Home. You could mix half and half of the wet and dry food, just do half of the dry RDA and half of the wet RDA. All of the above wet foods can be bought from Pets at Home in single packs or online in bulk. Good luck! Claire
