I sent an email to Stella and Chewy's asking them how much I should be feeding Alfie. I got a response first thing this morning. Here is what she said:
I’m so glad Stella & Chewy’s is a hit in your household!
You’re correct in questioning the feeding guidelines for your Alfie. Since he’s a puppy, he should be eating about double what a dog his size should eat. You want to go off the fact that he’s currently (almost) 3 pounds. That, in a full grown dog, would be about 1 steak every day. I would be feeding your pup about 2 steaks a day. Keep an eye on his weight…if he seems really hungry, you can feed him a bit more. I wouldn’t go over about 3 steaks a day, though. Once he’s full grown, he’ll eat about 1.5 steaks a day.
Please feel free to let me know if you have any additional questions.
I'm happy they responded so quick! I started feeding him 2 yesterday split up in 3 feedings since I felt like one just wasn't enough (1/2 patty in the am, 1 whole midday, 1/2 in the pm). He loves his meal time! I'm relieved he's looking forward to his meals now. |
