| Calories? I will be asking Bailey's vet this for a more specific amount for his body, but does anyone know the average amount of Calories an 11 1/2 week old should be taking in daily? I was reading his treat box today (gotta love lazy Sunday's! ) and it just got me wondering how many calories our little ones are to be taking in. Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday!!

| That is a good question. I would imagen it would be more complicated to have a standard calorie intake for a dog, then a person as dogs come in so many sizes. Do share when you talk to your vet.

| Generally, small adult dogs are supposed to get around 40 cal per pound of body weight per day, more or less depending on their activity level. As far as pups go, I am not sure.
