Is 700g of kibble too much for my 2-month-old puppy gaining weight?

Determine how much to feed a puppy can certainly be quite confusing! I'm glad to hear that you are offering Bourbon food four times per day. In another month, you can decrease his feeding to three times a day, and eventually twice per day. The Royal Canin Maxi Starter food is great for growing puppies! By 2 months of age, Bourbon should be able to start chewing through dry kibble, so you can start to wean him off of the water soaked kibble over the next few weeks. Cerelac is not a necessary component of any dog's diet, so I would recommend stopping that and strictly feeding the balanced puppy food. Based upon the feeding guide for your puppy food, Bourbon should eat around 250 - 260 gm per day, meaning that he should eat around 60 - 65 gm per meal. Congratulations on adopting your new little puppy and I hope this helps!

Most foods will have feeding instructions on the side of the bag according to your pet's weight and age, so you can use that as a starting gauge for how much to give. Puppies should generally be fed at least 2-3 times a day, and if your pup isn't gaining weight well, increasing the food amount and having your vet check for any issues such as parasites or illness which could impede weight gain is best.

Congratulations on your new addition! At this age, you should be feeding him 3-4 times per day. The amount depends on the brand of food that you choose to feed. He should be eating puppy food, and if you check the bag, there will be a feeding chart, which will tell you the amount to feed for his weight. This amount is the total amount for the day, and you will want to divide that over the 3-4 meals that you feed him. Hope that helps!

I would recommend a good quality large breed puppy formula such as Royal canin or iams. Feed twice daily. Amount varies by nutritional content of the food so follow label directions on how much to feed. Good luck with your pup!

I think it is perfectly fine to feed him twice a day. I would feed him about 1.5 to 2 cups twice a day depending on how active he is. If you want to give him some of the human food supplements, that is fine but I would not make it his main diet as that doesn't have all the vitamins and minerals that he needs. i hope this helps.

I usually use the rule of thumb of 1 cup per 20 pounds (~9kg). But with puppies, if they are really active and thin then they may need more. Some puppies are nibblers and don't want to eat that much and that is ok as long as he is eating, growing properly, and not too thin. I hope this helps!

I recommend feeding a large breed puppy food four times daily. I start with the amount recommended on the bag. If he is ravenous then I increase that amount at each meal so that he’s hungry and just about finishes the food but isn’t starving. Many active dogs need more food than recommended, so I judge the amount by your specific dogs needs. Gradually decrease to three meals a day after a month or two then to two meals daily when he’s six to eight months old.
