Hello! Due to soft stool issues, I'm transitioning my 12 week old pup from C. Natural Chicken and Rice puppy formula (466 kcal/cup) to the C. Natural Lamb and Rice puppy formula (535 kcal/cup ). I'd been giving about 3 cups a day on the Chicken and Rice, which amounts to 1,398 but the lamb and rice formula has quite a few more calories so three cups a day would be (1,605) per day. Is that too much? My pup gobbled the cup that he got for dinner so it's not as if he couldn't handle it but I don't want to overfeed. According to the feeding calculator, a large breed pup of his age/lb range should get this much of the lamb and rice puppy formula:
2 1/4 Cups
1,152.15 Kcal/day
So would three cups a day of this formula mean I'm overfeeding...?
(FYI--I will be transitioning to adult food probably around 4-5 months of age...)
Thanks!
I usually don't feed puppy food
My 15 week old puppy eats about three cups a day (one cup three times a day) and she's a cute little butterball, but not overweight.

Re: How many calories a day should a 3 month old bulldog pup get
My 10 week olds eat approximately 1500 k/cals per day.

Re: Unless the puppy
Thanks for the reassurance! I have to say he looks pretty good to me with a little belly on him!!Not too worried about him getting overweight though because the kids keep him very active. He's such a play pup...

Unless the puppy
is getting real fat I would keep feeding the 3 cups a day (3 x daily). Personally I have never worried about calories.
