My 5 and half month old english cocker spaniel weighs 14 kg. When I check online it is the max weight a cocker spaniel can grow when he is an adult. Is this normal for a puppy for that age to be almost reaching equivalent weight of an adult ? I give him pedigree and ocassional boiled chicken and egg meals and boiled veggies. 95% he is on pedigree ( chicken and milk) Attached the image of his weight gain in last few months He is healthy and doing fine and I take him to walk 3 times( 20 minutes each time) Any food changes should I do ?

Hi, there can be a lot of variation in their ideal bodyweight based on their size. You can check his body condition score to understand if their is a concern with his weight, or get it checked by your veterinarian. If based on body condition the doctor/ you feel that he is heavy you can reduce the food intake by 10% and exercise more. Also when you are giving commercial food please follow the quantities specified on the pack. If you are adding some egg/ chicken with it replace by reducing the pedigree.

Should avoid pedigree kibbles, it always lead to weight gain. Use N&D/Dibaq, these are premium ones and still in budget

Thank you Dr. Anukarna. Can I increase the time for each walk cycle ? How much walk is appropriate for his age ?

Hi, since it’s too hot these days, my 4 year old golden retriever was finding it very difficult to manage. So we decided to groom him but after observing some red rashes on his body we ended up shaving him completely. This is the 2nd time he’s shaved like this. 1st time it was on the vets recommendation done 2 years ago. I was looking at articles if is it fine to shave the retrievers and everything said “Never shave retrievers” so I’m concerned to know if it’s good or bad so that we can be careful next time.

I have 3 month old GSD pup. I'm struggling to get him to sleep on his own outside our bedroom. He refuses to sleep alone and creates a huge ruckus when i send him out for a few mins. How can I train him to sleep outside the room. Am at wits end. Would be grateful for any help
