Advice needed

[talljim 0]

One of the pups is shedding his molars at the moment and it's putting him off his food. He's on a complete mix and will eat it eventually. I've been wetting it to soften it which helps a bit, but he still seems a bit worried about it. (Having to restrain his brother who hasn't started loosing his back teeth yet from finishing his dinner for him is fun!)

 

They're 5 months old and I'm currently feeding them 3 times a day. Is it worth cutting it to twice a day to make him hungrier when mealtimes come round? I know it will pass in time, but any advice would be great.

 

Cheers

I'll give it a go, anyone any thoughts on when to move them onto 2 feeds a day rather than 3? Mostly i've read 6 months?
