Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Groo is 6 weeks old and weighs approx 3.3 Kilograms which is about 7.3 pounds.
I am currently feeding him dry food, Royal Canin Starter 1-2 Months. He doesn't have any meal plan because I don't have any knowledge about how much or how little he should be eating therefore his bowl is always kept full.
I've searched on a lot of sites answers to help me understand how to give him a healthy diet at every month until he becomes an adult but I can't seem to find a solution.
Would you guys please help me? |

| Six weeks is too young to be away from his mother and litter mates. There is a lot of important learning that happens regarding bite inhibition, general social behavior that puppies get from each other and mom. Any possibility the little guy can go back with Mom for a few more weeks?
As for puppy nutrition, I'm not really knowledgeable other than you want a puppy formula and what on the bag. I do believe at that age, feeding is 3-4 times a day. I think 4 but I'm not certain. |

Unfortunately the breeder wasn't able to hold my bud a little longer. I'm currently trying my best to take care of him and teach him about biting and socialising but as a new owner it's a little tricky. I am keen to learn more about huskies |

| Yes, multiple small feedings a day is useful. He should be eating approximately 3/4 cup day. I would look to swap to a puppy food that is cleaner. Royal Canin is a corn heavy food. Puppy foods have a higher fat and phosphorus ratio than standard foods so it is important to stick with a puppy specific formula. I would also consider adding in a puppy wet food for the time being. Some pups will struggle to get adequate moisture as they make the transition off milk and have to start making their own decisions on drinking from a water bowl. _________________ |
