Puppy not eating

Question
What if my German Sheperd pup is not eating as much? I try and feed him 3 time a day and seems like he only eats about 1 1/2 cups of food. I am feeding him Eukanuba puppy (large breed).

Answer
Shepherds are notorious for light eating.  As long as his ribs don't show too much, leave well enough alone.  If they are really bad, better talk to the vet.  Don't mess around tempting him with rich food or changing brands.  You should be feeding a puppy chow now. Switching to an adult chow for the larger breeds at 4 months, slows growth and helps develop sturdier joints.

Your dog definitely should be narrower at the waist than the hips and chest. You should be able to easily feel the ribs, but not see them. Each dog is different. Standard recommendations are a good place to start, but each dog must have its food and exercise adjusted to its individual needs.
