Over the years I as well as people who have purchased puppies have worried about how much puppies eat and that they look too thin. I am not as bad as I used to be about it. The biggest problem are the growing spurts. All of a sudden they will grow taller and look thinner. They will not have lost weight but they will look like they have. This goes on until they are 18 months old and sometimes even older. Kids also go through spurts of growth too. They also have times of not wanting to eat as much, and then times when your can't fill them up.
As long as your Vet says not to worry, I wouldn't.

Has anyone else delt with this before, I have a 3 y/o female and as a puppy she ate 3 cups per day, and my male that passed away of cancer he also as a puppy ate 3 cups per day. Need some help.
