He eats 1/8 cup of Eukanuba Small Breed Puppy in the a.m
He eats 1/8 cup of Eukanuba Small Breed Puppy in the afternoon
and 1/4 cup of Eukanuba Small Breed Puppy in the evening
NO SNACKS NO TREATS just water and dry food
He also gets about 1/2 tsp - 3 tsp per day of Nutri Cal on different intervals so that his glucose levels stay normal
He often acts hungry still if I attempt to restrict this amount
Am I doing something wrong or is this his build? many have said maybe he is just built cobby and stout  and his vet said he is chubby 
I just want to make sure I am doing right by him |
How old is he? Seems like the food portions are reasonable. Unless recommended by your vet, I'd question your upper limit of Nutri-Cal. Three tsps a day seems excessive. The instructions say 1 1/2 tsp per 10 pounds of body weight daily. So the recommended daily dose for a 3 pound dog would be your lower limit, 1/2 tsp.
