The brand you are feeding should give you some guidelines on feeding by weight. You can use some judgement on increasing or decreasing the amount you give him according to energy and activity levels. |
I agree, check out the bag for feeding guidelines, and feed a little less. I think food companies overestimate. Wellness, I think would be closer to 3/4 cup a day for a 3 pound puppy, especially if you are adding a little chicken. Plain chicken is fine to add as long as it doesn't exceed about 10% of your pup's daily intake. This is so you don't upset the balance of nutrients that your pup is getting.
