| How Much Food to Feed? I have a 4.5 months old puppy who weighs about 2.5-3 pounds. I just want to know for people who have or had puppies this age & size, how much food (wet & dry if you feed both) and how frequent are you feeding? |

| Im feeding Solid Gold, puppy food. I read in many places whats written on packages are usually over estimates and are usually not correct. |

| i think at that weight and age, even if the bag overstates the amount you are supposed to give them, it would not hurt to feed them that much....they are still growing and playing lots and need their nutrition and energy...i do not think you would want to "limit" their food until after they turn 1 year...i have always fed more than the manufacturer "recommends" to my kids and NONE of them are overweight at all HTH
