Re: Growth Spurts

Growth spurts will occur in pups up to a year of age. There is no "set" schedule for when they occur just as there is no set schedule for when growth spurts occur in human children.

You just need to watch her closely to make sure she is getting the nutrition she needs and when she starts to look a bit thin due to growing, then bump her food up and when she starts to look plump, lower the quantity down again. It's a constant up and down game until they get to be about 9-12 months of age and they pretty much level out in terms of growth.
