Question
Hi,
I'm naminder from India . my lab pup is 9 wks old I'm feeding her 1cup of yoghurt morning and evening 1 roti (non fermented baked wheatbread) in afternoon and puppy food pedigree at night still i feel that my pup is not getting sufficient nutrition as she look weak.i want to know what to feed and how much. Thanks

Answer
Puppies cannot live on a diet of yogurt and bread. They need a balanced diet like that in a commercial food.
Pedigree is not very good food but if it's the only one you can get then feed her that three times a day. She needs at least a cup of puppy food THREE times a day until she is about 6 months old. Then you can feed her twice a day but increase the amount according to her size.

If you can get it put her on Science Diet LARGE BREED puppy Growth. She will do really well if you feed her that. She needs the same amount, one cups or more three times a day. The total amount she eats all day should be no more than 3 1/4 cups. That might be too much for her also. So start with one cup in the morning, one half in the midday and one cup at night. She should be full but not be bloated in her tummy.

Make sure she get vaccinated for parvo virus and Rabies at 4 months old. She needs parvo vaccinations now and one every three weeks until she is 18 weeks old. Rabies vaccinations are very important where you live.

So get her the Science Diet today and start her on it as soon as you can. Mix a little of the Pedigree in it so as not to shock her system and cause diarrhea. Only do that for 6 days then feed the Science Diet three times a day. She does not need bread or the yogurt.
These are insufficient nutrition for her.

If you cannot find the Large Breed Science Diet then use the regular Puppy Growth by Science Diet. It comes in a green and white bag.
I know they sell it there. I don't know what part of India you are in but it is available most places.

Let me know how she does in a week or so and if this helps you.

Naminder,
Yes to both of your questions. Science Diet is made by Hill's which is a very large world-wide company. You can find the puppy growth or the Large breed growth where ever they sell dog food there where you live. I look at some images and the whole area looks very old and beautiful. Do they have a modern city where there are pet stores etc?
let me know,
Jana
