As much as they want to eat, you're better off throwing out food than having hungry pups

It all depends on the pup. Every litter will have picky eaters and others that are pigs, as long as you give them the opportunity to eat as much as they like there is no real wrong amount to feed. I usually offer frequent meals over leaving meat and milk out and leave them a bowl of kibble (which they will play in more than eat).

Puppy kibble/biscuits, Robert, and fatty puppy mince. Make sure they have fresh water available, as well as their milk feeds.

As much as they will eat at each meal, Robert. The leftovers, if any, won't go to waste. The broodie will see to that !

I agree with those above as much as they will eat at 3 mths mine are usually eating around 3/4 of a Kilo each am. Personalty i put out enough that there is some left over when they have finished and ta,e it out after half an hour and include it with their next meal, Everyone does it differently and we all have our reasons, In the evening I do the same but the usually only eat around a quarter of a kilo each often with chicken drumsticks or chicken wings for the to chew on . Not saying its right but works for me.
