I need some advice!
I'm feeding my 12 wk golden retriever 250g per day of pro-plan, which is the max recommended on the back of the pack. He also gets some other snacks - weeny bits of bread, cheese, hot dog, but not much really.
He's growing fast, but slim (not scrawny), and seems to be permanently starving. It takes him 10 seconds to eat his meals, then he's off looking for more food. He's always looking longingly into his empty bowl and trying to nick stuff off our plates. I can feel his ribs very clearly.
Can I feed him more and just judge by eye whether he's getting fat or not? I'm not worried about whether he'll get fat actually, as I'll be able to see, but I am worried that I might make him grow too quickly, or does this have nothing to do with food?
