So just before I explain my concerns I would just like to put out there that my little baby Dolce is my first dog ever. I have never had to actually raise one for myself, only puppy-sat for relatives. Soooo, I'm very cautious and concerned about the little things, as any mommy would be!

Ok so my little guy is 10 1/2 months old and is eating like a horse! We give him the recommended amount that is suggested. 1 cup daily (I believe it is) since he is still a little tyke. Before, he never even use to finish his food, and now he can't stop eating! We feed him Science Diet's Puppy Lamb and Rice Meal which is a new food we just started (he has been eating this brand for about a month now). I'm just trying to figure out if he is always wanting to eat and seems to never be full because he likes the food so much better, is jut a normal growing dog, or if he has a health problem I should be concerned about. I know that dogs will always eat even if they are not hungry, but this is not normal for him and that's why I am concerned. He is already a bigger Yorkie naturally, weighing in at a whopping 8lbs 8oz, but he is not overweight is very active and very healthy. I don't want him to get overweight 1)because it's a lot worse for a dog to be overweight than a human and 2)with his bigger size I don't know if the health risks would be greater.

if anybody has any input i would greatly appreciate it
