I agree! I always leave food down for my almost 6 month old pup. I measure out 1/2 cup a day and he usually never eats half a cup. The side of the bag should tell you how much food to serve by weight. If your pup is going potty and playing as he shoud, all is well. He just may need a little more food because he is growing and may be active. I just wouldn't go crazy over feeding him. I guess if it were me and my pup was that young I would just try not to let him go into hyperglycema (forgive the spelling). I hope this helps.
