Has anyone else had trouble keeping their spoo puppy up to a weight their vet is happy with? Our older poodles didnt have any trouble keeping up with their expected growth but our new poodle (10 weeks old 16.2lbs) is struggling to keep weight on. Hes growing steadily but he is very skinny, he gets 2 cups a day of purina pro plan puppy kibble in 4 small meals a day. Our vet recommended upping his food to 2.5 cups but I dont want to overfeed either and were at the highest recommended feeding based on calories currently. I also think we may be allowing too much play time, he doesnt sleep unless he's in his pen or crate.
Anyone else struggle with this? Ive never had issues keeping weight on a puppy before. He could just be a lean dog, but our vet is concerned he is too skinny.
