I can only say monitor the amount of food you are giving her, not too much, not too little. Always err with a pup on the more side of food.

I don't know if Casear is a good food or not. I home food my beasties..so not too "up" on the best kibbles and wet food out there.

One way to monitor take a look at her weight right now... feed about 10% of her current body weight. Lots of activity... then feed a bit more that day.

Remember treats do count on the caloric intake per day.

I have a couple of large dogs as well as my Yorkie. And I can tell you our male would eat us out of house n home. 2 Christmases ago he got the turkey off the counter, and was busy chowing down on it before I caught him.

Our large female I have to entice to eat. Hard to keep weight on her.

Razz is like your Hazel a right little piggy. Nobody is free fed here. I monitor all the time the intake. I don't want fat dogs.

But again your wee one is a pup. Err on the side of overfeeding a "bit".

In the final analysis, some maybe many doggies are little piggies. They'd eat till the cows come home. Sounds like Hazel maybe one of those.

OH NO!!! i don't want her to be a little piggy wiggie either! as expected she is VERY active. especially when she gets outside into the grass, she turns into a wild child. but i do monitor her food. and i'm trying to finish off that Cesar food. i have her on iams small breed puppy and i think i'm going to switch due to information i got from another thread i started.
