| How much do your babies eat? My Chloe is 15 weeks today and a little over 3 lbs. She only eats hard food, no soft. She eats about a half a cup a day...thats the most we can get her to eat. I have heard thats a pretty normal amount for a puppy her size and weight...I think it might be a little on the lower end though but she looks like a good weight and not to skinny.. How much do your dogs/puppies eat? Just curious...

| That's a normal amount for your puppy to eat. I think how she looks visually is the best way to judge, and you say she looks like a good weight.

| My Mia eats about 3/4 cup of kibble a day (sometimes up to a cup) she is a piggy tho and I think she's getting a little tummy already! I'm going to have to keep an eye on her! She is eleven weeks old and about 3.5 lbs.

| That seems pretty normal. Whenever Leo plays really hard or goes for a long walk he will tend to eat a little more. |

| my baby use to eat a over a cup a day plus the turkey roll. Gosh, I just realized charlie finished a 4lb turkey roll in one month. that is a lot. Need to cut down on his turkey roll. Now for some reason, he won't eat anymore..he will nibble here and there that is about it. I am trying to feed him at least half a cup a day by hand feeding him. He won't eat the kibble unless the turkey roll is mix in with it. |
