i know i must be really thick but i dont understand the feeding table on the back of the autarky package. Can anybody advise me how much i should be feeding my labs?

Charlie is 8 months and weighs 21.5kg

Benson is 5 months and weighs 12kg.

Is it the 'Summer' adult version you are feeding? If so, I feed Corbie the amount shown for a 'build-up dog'.... I give him a little more for his morning meal if we are going on a longish walk, but that won't apply to you yet given the ages of your pups.

Corbie is on the amount for a 30-35kg dog if I remember correctly.

Hope that helps.

They are on the spring puppy/junior food. The chart down the left hand side of the package, is that the adult weight of the dog???

I switched Corbie onto the adult version at 6 months old, so trying to remember the feeding guide on the puppy one.

I think it's an age/weight ratio and I worked around that - so the weight of the dog is the actual weight of it now, so if one weights 200g then you work it out against the age. I think Corbie was on about 3/4-full mug three times a day before I changed him onto adult and two meals, but it seems so long ago now!
