Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. 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. |

| Hi everyone,
My boy Kiba is 15 weeks and weighs 20 lbs (went to the vet 9/17/2011). I'm wondering how much I should feed him per day. He's just come off of a bland diet because of loose stools (I think this is due to Purina One, which the breeder had him on). I did some research and discovered this wasn't the greatest food for huskies. He's now on Blue Buffalo Chicken and Rice and had his first "real" formed stool. I cannot tell you how excited I was for this, lol.
Anyway, I feel like he may be too skinny. He eats about 2-2.5 cups per day. I don't want to overfeed him (he will eat the entire house if you let him), but I want to make sure that he's getting enough. Any advice? |

| this is blue buffalo's feeding chart. your pup is almost 4 months so it says around 1 1/4- 1 1/2 (for him weighing 20lbs) but huskies tend to eat a little less, others can help you out there edit: i misread it haha. ugh. obviously you need 2 1/2 cups. sorry.

| I did see that and took it into account. I think 2.5 might be good for him for now. They're both always seem so hungry, but my aunt's boxer is also like that and he's HUGE so it might just be a want-it-because-they-see-it type thing. |

| I'd expect to feed a growing sibe that age around 2-3 cups/day. I think 2.5 cups/day is a good starting point. As always, I'd keep an eye on body condition and weight and adjust feeding amounts as needed. _________________ |
