I also think you're fine with the Canidae ALS. It's a really great quality food, and "all life stages" means just what it says. Once he hits 10 pounds here in a week or two, I would give hime up to 2 cups a day, and cut back if he is gaining more than about a pound a week or feeling too "plump" (can't feel his ribs). As Debbie mentioned, the pound a week is general, so a "rib check" is as important. You should be able to feel his ribs through a thin layer of pad under his skin.
