How much food should a 5 month old Westie be fed?
Westies belong to a small group of dog so they have a quite small stomach. They should receive two batches of food in a day. They should be fed in the morning and evening. Aside from this, you need to give them treats in between. Make sure that the dog has a good supply of fresh water.
The food should consist of meat, fruits, vegetables and rice. The diet should be filled with protein and vitamin rich food. Avoid giving bones and too many vitamins. Westies can be hungry all the time but this is not the reason to overfeed them as they will become overweight. This would be a threat to their life. Ideally, they should have firm and strong muscles. If you feed them too much while they are in their puppy stage, there tendency is to get big.
