Wrigley went to the vet today for the last of his puppy shots and his rabies shot. They weighed him at 5.13lbs. He is a little over 4 months old. He was 4.12 when we took him September 3rd.

a pound in less than a month?!

He was being fed Iams at the breeder, when we got him we switched him to Science Diet from the vet, but then we decided we wanted to go with Wellness. He is finally getting only the wellness after the switch now. So he had a string of food changes because I was trying to find the best one for him. When we got him he was kinda itchy and now he hardly itches (no more so than any dog).

When do they stop gaining weight? Is the food I am giving him now fine? I'm worried that he is gaining too much weight he shouldn't be. He isn't fat I don't think but I just thought I'd ask.
