no la where got 55kgs about 5.5kgs only la, but that was at like 2 1/2 months...
vet said he looked normal weight and height, but i was just wondering...

my pup is about 32-35cm in height @ 3months now...
i think I will go weigh him again probably heavier...

wahhh 9 months old and that heavy only ah  , have you tried feeding her rice/porridge mixed with dry dog food, mix it when cooking in rice cooker... good way to get them normal, but dont feed too much cause his legs are weat instead try feed some raw meat at night or afternoon, interchange... dont forget to deworm also...

how old your GR? its just normal for them to get excited when got food la, but they must learn to sit and not jump/eat while you pouring the food...
usually if too young abit hard la, but still can...
i start by pouring then if she go to eat I go like "aiiiiiiii" in a firm tone, sometimes have to give a spank on the backside...
if still insist then stop pouring and keep saying sit/stay in a firm voice until she/he sits, then pour again, if goes to eat hold him/her just a few inches away from the food and keep saying sit/stay until they calm down, then praise and let them go...
my GSD now i go inside also will wait until i say "ok eat" then she eat...
if I call her while eating she comes but not all the time... but if i tell her "girl no, come here" (cause eating other pups food) then she stop eating and come to me...
my lab also learning but still young so sometimes can sometimes cannot...
also it will be slightly easier if they are hungry, but make sure above 6 months then do that...

i still feel mix between raw, dry food, and rice...
i buy nutri edge stage 1 for RM40 (3.6kg bag), anyone else get any cheaper and from where?
oh another thing i prefer if the dog food sink when you put in water and not float...
if it sinks you know they put good quality ingredients (meat) and if it floats well..... some superpremium dog food also floats...
nutriedge sinks...

actually is not advisable to buy such a big pack for a small or medium size dog.. d nutrition tend to lost after prolonged exposure to d atmosphere.... coz whenever u open d container, ur exposing it 2 d surrounding....
better buy a package tat ur dog can finish in a month

From my dad's point of view... ProFormance is good for large breed dogs... it's a super premium brand... erm... can't remember the price loh but it should be Rm130 plus...
Nutriedge is about Rm135 for adults.... I'm not sure about puppies...
