Am I over feeding my puppies?

Really better for them not to be too fat so do what ya want if they are active and ful of vim and vigor they are doing goood . and If in doubt about their weight take then to vet and see ok?

will do-ty LKo ((hugs))

Yep LKo they are greedy little skamps lol but I cut back too see if they would start to lose weight-bojangles is looking a little skinnier so i might up his food again +'s |:)

I was giving them 1 cup 2x per day but they seemed skinny & acted hungry so I went up & I had to go to adult food b/c the puppy food pieces were too small & they needed big bites (they love to chew). I guess I should only give them 4 cups at night b/c it's getting colder. I'm posting new pics of them on my profile-they aren't over weight that's why I figured I should feed them more. +'s |:)

Don't feed them 4 cups that is waayy too much. They will always act hungry and look for more. A lot of animals do not have a good hunger reflex. You need to talk to your vet ASAP about how much to feed them. They shouldn't have bones showing but they shouldn't have a layer of fat under their skin either.

that's what i was doing before,giving them as much as the bag recommended-but they always acted like they were still hungry-so I would give them extra-if you look at my photos of them on my profile page you can see they aren't obese. I did cut back after i started this discussion but recently I started giving bo a little extra again b/c he was still hungry. I'll keep a close watch & make sure they don't get obese-I'm just afraid of them getting emaciated looking b/c i cut back too much on there feed. They do exercise daily-they have 30' tie out cables to run around plus I take them to play every chance i get. thanks for your advice i appreciate everyone who responds b/c I love those dogs. |:)

yeah I don't want them to be obese but they eat & must burn it off-I posted some updated pics on my profile you can see they aren't fat-I'm not gonna give them extra during the day even though the pick up the bowls like "give me more" but since it's getting colder @ night I'll give them extra then |:)

Thanks for the BR. BTW I checked your dogs' photos on your profile and they are beautiful animals and look really healthy.

They are about 7 months old-they seemed skinny when we got 'em but now they look healthy it's just they are hungry all the time

I started to feed them adult food because they needed bigger chunks to bite on those little bites were not satisfying them but since I've started this discussion & with all the feed back I've gotten I did reduce their feed by 1 cup but they still act like they're starving I'm just gonna hold back & see if they start to look skinny then I'll up it if I need too +'s |:)

Adult dog food does not give the proper nutrition to a puppy. Your puppy should not be having a problem chewing their food even if the pieces are small. They may be overeating because they need the extra food to make up the nutrition that they are lacking from adult dog food. There are also many other things that puppies can chew besides their dog food. Puppies do chew because they are teething. You really should talk to your vet about this. My vet told me a puppy should be on puppy food until at least 18 months. Puppies also tend to be thinner than adult dogs. This does not mean they are underfed. Other dogs will continue eating and eating if you let them. Please speak to your vet so you know you are taking care of your two precious friends properly.
