Hello again!
I say again as I used this forum a little while back when our mastiff x was a pup/young dog. She's 4 now! It's really nice to see some familiar names on here!
We have just got a DDB pup who is 12 weeks now, we've had her for 2 weeks. We've had a ddb previously, before Millie.
I am seeking advice re food. Forgive me for not posting in nutrition but that doesn't seem to get as much traffic!
Millie eats a cold pressed food:

She does really well on it and is in great condition. I remember asking for opinions on it here and people said looked good.
I would like the new pup (Jolee) to eat cold pressed too and have started her on Lukulkus junior cold pressed:

The size of the pellets is great as the Markus Muehle pellets are quite big.
However, I think I'd forgotten that mastiff puppies don't need puppy/junior foods and also that many are allergic to chicken.
Her poos are about half fine and half not. Sometimes all OK, but other times she has diarrhoea. She also farts badly!!
I've seen that Millie's food - the Markus Muehle - now comes in smaller pellets so I'm thinking of switching to this.
I wondered if those of you who are experts on the ingredients/how much protein a dog should receive etc could advise me?
Another point - she doesn't eat as much as the lowest recommended weight of food for her bracket. She's healthy and if anything a little 'rounded'. (she's been wormed!)
One last thing - at what age can she drop to 2 meals a day?
Thank you in advance!
Sarah.
