More newbie questions  😀

Been giving scooby pro/yog bananas and oats 4 breakfast for a few weeks now. (still a little loose with that) for the rest of the day he has “balls in a bag”
I made up a batch of chick thighs 50% 50% carrots and brown rice. Cooked bevs porridge way. I gave him a wee little bit which he wolfed down.
Now I need to know how much to feed him?. (Searched the internet with no definative answer).
Also how gradually should I switch him over?
And also, time lines. How long should I leave it before i say, switch meat or veg or carb?
And also also lol I plan on giving him a weekly bone for his teeth. When would be a good time to fit this in. Phew sorry to be such hard work but my boy is starving……………………

I always feed by feel if the dog feels right then they are getting enoughif they are getting a bit podgy then I cut back.
I have two questions why are you only giving a bone once a week? Where is the fish in this diet?

Bev has a diet sheet for me but is having trouble sending.
I was thinking I should slowly add things in to avoid upsetting his belly.
My o/h has huge issues about raw feeding chicken. No matter how much I educate him. So I was going to give him enough bones to keep his teeth healthy.(when he is not around)
But I guess raw fish would work.

It does not have to be chicken any bones that are none weight bearing are fine they will help his gut.

Tinned sardines in vegetable oil are good  🙂

Sardines, mackeral or pilchards in tomato sauce, very good for dogs in many ways.

Just by itself? We don’t have mixer here  :canadian: 
Should I wait a while in between each new item. He is still only a pup.
So Rib bones ?? what else is none weight bearing.?
Should cheer him up. Went to the groomers yesterday and she shaved his belly 🙁 and he has teddy bear feet. Sulked all last night  :baby:
