He's at a training class????? Are his puppy shots complete? I would be really nervous to expose him to other dogs without a complete course of vaccinations. |
I agree. Please don't limit the food, until around 6-8 months, you will not effect the overall growth of the dog, by limiting the food, but you will severely limit the overall health. Also, remember they grow in spurts.
We had to show a copy of the completed shot record at Petsmart before dogs were allowed in class, does Petco do this?
An estimate for full grown weight is to triple the 8 week weight or double the 12 week weight.
