How much are you feeding puppy? I suggest you cut back by 1/4 cup at each feeding and see what happens. A 4 month old puppy would need about 1 1/2 -2 cups in total per day.

Are you feeding the Large Breed Puppy? Do not feed the Adult Orijen....calcium/phosphorus ratio is too high for a puppy.

I am feeding large breed puppy, not adult. But are you sure 1 1/2 to 2 cups is enough?

I was going by what the bag was recommending (minus 1/2 a cup because I thought it was too much). Bear is 45 pounds and a "hoover"! He's eating 3 1/2 cups and is still starving and looks like a toothpick.

Based on his expected adult weight (father was 130 pounds) he's supposed to eat between 4-5 cups a day right now.

How did you come up with your amount?
