Puppy Weight & Feeding (Please Help) Worried Parent -
09-14-2006, 01:49 PM
My little man Koda is now 5 months old and weighs in around 21-22 pounds. He is a little bit portly but I can easily feel his ribs and he by no means looks like an obviously fat dog ( He seems to carry most of his weight in his chest and front half). But I was reading an older forum and most people were saying that there dogs were between 16-18 pounds. We are currently feeding him 3/4 of a cup of IAMS dry food twice a day with a little chicken and rice wet food mixed in because he wont eat it other wise (He was sick to his tummy for a week or two once and the vet put him on a chicken and rice diet so he wont eat his regular food anymore without it). Like some other people I thought he was not getting enough food because the dog food bag said he should be eating almost three cups a day. So my question is am I feeding him to much and am I going to have a very large Corgi on my hands.
Side note, he often times does not eat all of breakfast and will eat his dinner over the course of an hour or two. He is by no means a typical corgi who will eat ravenously until it is all gone.
