YT 2000 Club Member | puppy food :) I have my little guy on Chicken soup for puppies on the back of the bag is says to feed 1 to 1 1/2 cup for puppies 3 to 5 pounds/6 to 11 weeks. He is 8 weeks old and under 3 pounds ( I dont no his exact weight, the vet paperwork doenst say and I when I spoke to the vet about his hyernia he stated that he was under 3 pounds) so Ive been giving him a little less then the cup. I seperate it in 4 different feedings through the day between 6:30 am to 5 pm, I moist in it with water and he usually gobbles it up right away. What he doesnt eat I take out after a little while. I leave a few dry peices in his pen at night with him but he usually doesnt eat it. Am I giving him enough? too much? not enough? Thanks

| Use your baby's body as a guide to whether or not he's eating enough. Does he look skinny?

♥ love my girls!! ♥ Donating Member | Wow!! Mine has NEVER eaten even close to 1 c. of food per day since we got her (9 wks old)! She's 7 mo. old now and only eats 1/4 c. to maybe a tiny bit more than that every day, if she even eats that much. She's never been a good eater though, and I give her access to as much as she'll eat! I think the rule of thumb is 1) puppies can eat basically as much as they want, as long as 2) they aren't getting overly fat! (And if they're really skinny, you'd want to do something, obviously, to encourage them to eat more!) I think you're doing a great job!! As long as that baby eats, let him eat!! (From the sound of it, you'll probably have a great eater! You'll have to start watching portions around 8-12 mo. is my guess, because he may eat whatever you set in front of him! )
