At this point in time, your puppy is growing and needs the nutrients. Once your pup reaches maturity, if you see a weight problem, then you can consider switching to scheduled, measured feedings if needed.

My pup's healthy weight was established around the 18 month mark. His vet told me then he should weigh around 7 lbs. (give or take a few ounces) So when he reached almost 10 lbs at over 2 years old, I knew I had a problem. He has LP, and his weight aggravated the issue. That's when I switched him to measured, scheduled feedings. At that point it was in his best interest for me to control his intake as his eating everything in sight was affecting his health. He's back to a healhty weight and his knees don't bother him as much anymore. i wouldn't have taken such drastic measures if he was still growing and developing.
