  1. Does anyone also know any Soft puppy kibble available? Im thinking it could also just be because they're really hard
  2. Thanks everyone for all your responses! Archie was vaccinated and Microchipped at 6 weeks, at the time. He was healthy weight, he is also De-wormed regularly I will try fresh foods and see if thats the way to go
  3. Hi All!! Need some help, so heres the back story. Around 3 weeks ago, i adopted a Toy Poodle X Pomeranian puppy named Archie, He was only 5 weeks old at the time and only drinking his mothers milk (irresponsible breeder, had to save him from them). It was quite a process to get him weaned off, He was extremely picky with what he would eat, what brands of kibble or puppy milk or even wet food, After awhile, he decided he was enjoying the Optimum Puppy Kibble, so i stuck to that. He is now 8 weeks old, Still on Optimum Puppy Kibble, however he is not meeting the feeding guidelines, It says he should be eating 90g of kibble/day, however he seems to only be eating around 25g/day, He's very fluffy, so i'm unable to tell if he's skinny or gaining weight, but i can feel his ribs only covered by skin (no fat). He's VERY playful, & full of energy ALL the time, Drinking water as per normal. so it does not seem like he is sick. I'm worried, Vets are booked out for another week (so i wont be able to see one till next week), So, I ask the following: What can i do to get him to eat a proper plate of puppy kibble? (note: i've tried toppers, canned food & ALOT Of different brands). Should i starve him for a certain period of time to ensure he eats? Is there a schedule i should be following? (e.g how much to feed him at a certain time of day) Any advice would be highly appreciated!! Attached are photos of when i first bought him home(5 weeks old) & now (8 weeks old)
  4. There is a guide on the bag, but was hoping for some info specific to the breed. Guide says between 120g-220g/ day
  5. Noted, im going to start adding kibble toppers like Egg, puppy milk etc. Ill also substitute one of the 3 meals with raw meats. He has had his 1st vaccination, due for his second this coming saturday, he is de-wormed every fortnight as advised by vet, Extremely playful and energetic Thanks for your advice!
  6. Breeder did not provide any diet sheet, just advised that he was feeding the pups dry food, i do give him raw food as a snack some days but my main issue is getting him to eat his dry food. He was eating it when we first got him, but the past 2 days it seems like he is eating less dry food Is there any general guide to how much dry food i should be feeding him per meal?
  7. Hi All, I recently adopted a 9 week old Blue Amstaff, im worried he isnt gaining enough weight He is currently around the 7-8kg mark at 10 Weeks, Is this a healthy weight? Ive got him on a dry food diet, Purina Supercoat Puppy, trying to avoid the use of wet food because when i tried it with my older English Staffy, he never went back to Dry food Can someone provide some advice on 1. Is 7-8kg weight at 10 Weeks a healthy weight for a Amstaff (Generally speaking) 2. Any Recommended feeding schedule/amounts i should be following? 3. Can i mix a little bit of raw egg yolk with the dry food in every meal to make it more pleasant for him to eat? Thanks in advance
