Ok so I'm gradually switching my 11 week old to fromm gold adult. My plan was to switch to fromm gold adult large breed but the store was out and the 2 weren't that different. She is on eukanuba large puppy breed now and I give her 2 cups daily. 1 cup am, 1 cup pm. My question is once I gradually add in the fromm I know she should get less of the fromm so how do I work that in? Tonight i did 3/4cup eukanuba and 1/4cup fromm but im thinking in end she shouldnt be getting 2 cups of fromm daily? And the bag for the fromm gold adult large breed doesn't even have recommendation because the weight starts at 40lbs.
So for now with fromm gold adult how much should she get daily? And hopefully next bag would be fromm gold adult lg breed what would she get daily?
Thanks!
She's about 11-12lbs now!
The calorie counts for both brands are pretty similar. Eukanuba is 337/cup and Fromm is 378/cup, so the amount you feed should be almost the same. If she is doing well on the amount of calories she is getting , then 1 7/8 of a cup daily or 1 cup am and 7/8 c in pm should give you the same number of calories, or just slightly less than 1 c in am and pm. Please make sure you are using a proper measuring cup. Also, I believe there liquid measuring cup is bigger than a dry measuring cup.
My breeder had suggested switching her to an adult formula after finishing the small bag of eukanuba. She didnt specify a brand just adult. So I heard good things about fromm and figured I try their adult one out!
Good luck with the new food. I also have heard good things about Fromm. We have been feeding Max Acana Wild Prairie for several months now. He really likes it and is doing very well with it.
Fromm is good. I would personally work her up to the quantity you are feeding of the Eukanuba--but you will most likely have to bump it up as she grows, to meet her growing needs. Sometimes it will be double the amount of the recommended amounts for adults, just as an example.
So far she is loving the Fromm. She never ate so fast and never finished her food, now she is! Just curious if the food was going to give her loose stool, Would it have happened by now? She just had her 3rd serving of it and her stool has been normal.
My Gabby has been on adult food since she was about 3.5 months. She is eating 1.5 cups twice daily. I feed my dogs Wellness Super 5 Mix chicken, not large breed.
At that age I would be doing three meals a day if its feasible. I would do 1/2 cup 3x/day. About 12-14 weeks I'd bump up as necessary as she grows. I don't think 2 cups per day is too much if she is at a good weight.
I fed Fromm LB Adult and the dogs loved it! Make sure you buy it from a vendor that offers the buy 12, get 1 free program.
