Yes, I believe she's eating enough-she's gaining weight very well. I'm feeding RC starter & puppy mousse. Mostly just the kibble, though if she hasn't eaten well, I mix in puppy mousse in the evening to entice her and she gobbles it up. She eats about 1/3 cup of kibble a day, and up to 1/4 can of puppy mousse.
According to the kibble directions, she should be 1/2 cup, but I doubt I could make her eat that much, no matter how many times I try to feed her during the day.
If she's being finicky, I also give her nutrical.
I also just started mixing in Orijen puppy kibble, though I don't think she likes it. She spit out the bits of Orijen the last two times I tried to sneak some in! Kinda frustrating...it was expensive!
