How much food should I give my 13 week old cocker spaniel puppy, she appears to be hungry all the time. I give her 100 grammes dry food per day in 3 meals, is that enough? I don't want her fat and overweight.

It's hard to say exactly how much food she should be having at it depends very much on the individual. Some puppies always appear to be hungry all the time. You can judge for yourself if she is getting the right amount. If you can feel her ribs but not see them, she's about the right weight. The instructions on the packet usually overestimate how much a puppy needs (the manufacturers want your dog to eat as much as possible so you buy more!)

I fed my cocker spaniel 1 cup in the morning and one cup in the evening. She also got a few baby carrots and apple slices as snacks and pieces of biscuts when she performed tricks. Now that she is an adult, she gets 1 to 1 1/2 cups of food in the evening in addition to those little snacks. Try giving her raw hides and other chew toys. She may not be hungry...she may just like to chew...my dog has yet to grow out of that! Enjoy your pup...Cockers really have the best personalities!

I breed cockers and that is not going to give you a big healthy dog. Go to the pet shop and ask for a high quality puppy feed and follow the weight guide on the pack. If she is still hungry give a little more. Se will stop asking wen she doesnt need it.

It all depends on what kind of food u are feeding-Most diet will have a guide on the back or side of the bag-This can be help full as an estimate on how much u should feed him-It may be enough-If unsure talk to your vet or vet nurse who may be able to work out for you how much you should be feeding.Have a look at your puppy does she seem skinny-Can you see ribs-If you can see them well then you may need to increase the amount you feed.

ask your vet. They'll tell you. It depends on a lot, like exercise. Be careful with any spaniels weight, especially if you get her spayed. They have a tendency to gain weight, which leads to heart problems

If you feed her 3 times a day... allow her to eat until she is full and take up the food from her. Excersise will keep her from being over weight, you'd need to take her out for a walk at least once a day.
