The Border Collie is an excellent breed of dog and many people now keep it as a pet companion dog. When raising a Border Collie puppy for the first time, many people want to know how much it eats each day and how to know if it’s getting enough to eat. Today, I will answer these questions one by one, so let’s take a look. Border collie puppies have limited digestive capacity, so they need to be fed a small number of meals a day. Generally, puppies within 6 months of age are fed 3-4 meals per day, while puppies between 6-12 months of age are fed 2-3 times per day, and when they reach one year of age, they are fed only 2 meals per day. This will be enough to meet its daily energy needs. Then it’s easy to tell if it’s eating enough. It is to observe the Border Collie’s stool. When the Border Collie’s stool is in strips, soft or hard, it is a good indication that he is eating just enough. If the feces are too soft, so soft that you can’t pick them up with a dog feces holder, you’ve given him too much to eat. If the feces are too hard, the Border Collie is not eating enough and needs to be fed more. As your Border Collie grows, you will need to adjust the amount of food he eats each day to suit his condition. He should not be overfed, but he should not be starved either. Overeating or starving the Border Collie can cause gastrointestinal discomfort, which can affect its healthy growth.
