We're getting a Bichon Frise in a few weeks. I'd like to know how much wet or dry food the dog should be getting per day. He'll be 7 months old when he joins us.
Looking forward to your replies and any info you can share...
Best regards, Frank

Hi there,
The daily amount you should feed them based on their weight is usually written on the packaging.
Personally, I cook for my pet myself. Good quality chicken, veg and rice. Rapeseed oil and parsley. 🌿 It’s brilliant.
Honestly, would you eat that wet food yourself? Have you actually read the label? It’s salty and packed with preservatives.
Each to their own, though.
The most important thing for a dog like this is finding the right diet – and I’m talking about their daily food, of course. We went through so many different brands, but in the end, we found the best selection at a specialist online pet store. That’s what we’ve stuck with ever since. We also cut out all extra treats. I can definitely recommend looking for a good online pet supplies site like that.
Hi there,
It’s difficult to give an exact amount without knowing your dog’s weight and the food you’ve chosen, as requirements vary from brand to brand. Have a look at the feeding guidelines on the packet, then adjust the portions based on their body condition and how they’re doing. Don’t hesitate to ask your vet for advice, as they’ll be able to help you work out the best portion size for your Bichon Frisé.
Best wishes,
Victoire
The daily portions are printed on the packaging based on weight.

Cook for your pet instead. Use good quality meat and nice vegetables. The same ones you’d have for your Sunday roast: just without any onions, salt, or pepper... It seems relatively affordable to me.
