I did not mean to say that he was underweight. On average a male Rottweiler puppy weighs about 40 lbs at 4 months of age. Your pup may be lighter boned, or had rougher start...or it could be genetics?
If you feed him too much, he will NOT grow faster....he will just grow fatter.
You don't want to do that.
Slow and steady growth is so much better for a Rottweiler puppy, it helps prevent orthopedic problems in the future.
Keep up with the 3 cups for now, add a bit of fresh toppers if you want...then gradually as he grows add 1/2 cup more kibble.
