I wouldn't cut down on food if he seem hungry and lean, they go through growth spurts, and one month are starving and the next month seem disinterested in food. Joey's breeder recommended free feeding until 6-8 months, and you don't have to worry about them becoming fat, until closer to a year; they need lots of calories when they are puppies. I think it's important to limit snacks, but not wholesome food. Another thing it's hard to compare the amounts on different types of foods, Joey's adult food, requires less than his puppy food. Remember if he is active, he will require more food than an inactive dog. What does the bag recommend for a 5 pound puppy?
