I have an 8 week staffie female. My breeder had her on a dry blocks diet (montego classic) [6 weeks when i got her] and after week 1 she wasn't eating (she was well adjusted, happy, full of energy, no crying at night) - i picked up her bowl after 10 mins of not eating and put fresh food at next feed - no luck! Instead of having her 3 meals a day she wasn't even having 2 full portions. I dedided to put her on a wet diet which she loves but I'm not sure of the portions. At the moment she gets soaked oats with 1/3 egg for breakfast (small fistful before adding water), mixed mutton/beef/tripe,grains,veg,wholewheatpasta (125g)for lunch and the same in the evenings, with a vitamin supplement powder. Small snacks in between and tripe sticks. She is very happy and eats everything and tries to guilt more food out of me. I'm concerned that it might be too little or too much. What portion sizes should she be getting? At what age do I increase the portion sizes? Thanks!!!
