feeding puppy

Question
I have 2 14 week boston terrier puppies. they have very
different body types. One is slim and round head about 12-13
lb the other has larger body and head that is more square 15-
17 lb. We were wondering how much to feed and how often.

Answer
Half a cup each of 3 times a day or what the package suggests would be a good place to start.  Larger breeds, I would say cut back to 2, but the little ones need more meals for at least a few more months.

You should be feeding a puppy chow now. Despite the hype, any of the common brands provide an excellent diet.  


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. Here is a link to a good illustrated guide, http://www.longliveyourdog.com/twoplus/RateYourDog.aspx  Make them eat out of separate bowls in order to control how much each gets and its body condition.  I sometimes stand between the bowls maintaining order.
