Reviews
I regularly check the feeding guide on here as my puppy grows to make sure I am adjusting the quantity of his food accordingly. Last few times I checked, we were working up to 240g per day (at 20-22kg/5 months), however, I checked it just now and all of a sudden the amount is COMPLETELY different. Suddenly it says 380g at 5 months?! So I am now not sure if I have been drastically underfeeding my puppy but 140g is quite a substantial difference to not be sure about, so I think we will have to switch to a different brand asap.
I have been feeding my 15 week old puppy Beta chicken. I bought the turkey variety for a change but the feeding guideline was a different amount by 100g per day. I went back to chicken, but when I went to purchase it there were different packs with different amounts on each pack. As you can see from the photos, the packaging was the same apart from the guidelines. I am really concerned as I was either over or under feeding her by a considerable amount for 6 weeks. I will now be weaning her onto a different brand.
I have a 4 month spinger spaniel/mini poodle mix and have already had a few digestive issues when feeding him other brands of food. He switched straight over to Purina and all issues were gone! He wolfed down every single meal!
Like other reviewers, I am concerned about the changes in feeding guidance. I started to follow the new, increased guidance but my puppy now seems to be putting on too much weight around the neck. PLEASE SORT THIS OUT OR MANY OF US WILL SWITCH BRANDS. This will be a shame because my puppy loves it
