 1lb gain in a month?
When I first got Layla she was 1.4lb at 9 weeks. She was then 1.7lb at 10 weeks. In a month she put on an entire pound! She went from 1.7 to 2.7lb (2.7 at 13 weeks). I weighed her today (she will be 14 weeks on monday) and she is a whopping 3lb when she's been with us only a month and a week. Is this alright? I noticed that as soon as we had her for a few weeks she became a lot more round. Looking at her now I can say she got bigger and fatter, too. Which, hey, is great because I am happy she is healthy.
The only thing is I am worried that I could be over-feeding her. I am suspicious it may be the food we are giving her too. Currently she's on Little Caesars and Mighty Dog which I have learned is the junkfood of the dog world at my last vet visit. It was what her breeders gave her because she was a picky eater. I'm planning to switch her to Blue Buffalo asap, a proper puppy diet. She seems very healthy and is a good eater, at least with those foods.
So is this ok? That's a lot of weight! What are your thoughts? |
