So guys thanks again for the advise, but I have another big concern in relation to this topic.

I have taken your advise and put back his old food today, However, ever since I switched him to Royal Canin food, Literally this morning I noticed he is heavier!! I would guess a couple of lbs, he was weighing 2.5 and hes 14 weeks now.

His whole stomach and bones seem much thicker, but I am worried because this is just overnight this happened, I go to see him in the morning and hes suddenly somewhat chubbier.

I did the whole "Rib Test" for checking weight and I can feel his ribs so I just don't know what to make of this.

One last note is that I noticed on the Royal Canin food it states "Rapid Growth", and I am just really untrusting when companies put that because even though they claim its 'Natural', I fear they use chemicals to force growth dogs, whats your guys take on this?
