How much to feed?? - Page 1

I thought he was doing fine myself, just wanted some reinforcement of that. Thank you for the input it is appreciated. I think sticking to 2 cups twice a day will be fine, if he is eating all and acting hungry I will increase it.  We also boil skinless/boneless chicken breast for treats and figure that into their daily intake, more protein, less fat. I figured as long as he is growing, gaining and has a healthy coat he must be getting what he needs.

 Thanks again,

Cindi,

It's really not possible to come up with some unilateral statement about how much to feed a puppy because there are too many environmental factors, for example the activity level of your dog, the quality of the food you use, the natural food drive of your pup, etc.

As long as your puppy is at a healthy weight then you ought to be fine.

One question though, you mentioned you boil chicken for your dog.  Any particular reason?  If you want to supplement your dog's diet with natural meat, then a raw chicken wing or back would be healthier than boiled meat.  Cooking meat destroys some of the nutrients.  Just curious.

Ditto on the boil the chicken   Raw he can eat bone and all  feed raw chicken wing and chicken neck and backs   no cook feed raw   if no eat in 30 mins throw away   only feed fresh and thawed almost all way.......raw lliver and heart in small amounts also.....fresh live at Sams Club in meat dept. , not frozen  put in little baggies, one strip of liver., one neck , thaw in morning in fridge, and feed with food every other day.......cooking depleats all nutients plus puts the residue from the pan you boil it in and if you have chlorine water y injest clorine and its residue also.....
