Default Arcana for puppies

Hi all,


My 9 month old boy eats 1.2oz (35g) food per day split in 2 meals.


I can feel his ribs, spine and hips but can't figure out if he's underweight or ok?


I tried a dog bmi link but it said he would only be healthy or at the 'correct weight' when he weighs 7lbs as he is 9'' tall. Currently, he's 3.6lbs and very happy so I would think he's mildly underweight if at all?


I was thinking about increasing his food to 1.4 oz (40g) a day and he also has cream cheese or peanut butter in the day as a snack (1tbs max of each).


Obviously, the vet will know but just wanted your responses to see if you feed similar size/aged dogs a similar amount, more or less?


Thanks!
