To show how much the food matters: a 7 kg puppy needs about 602 kcal a day. That is 169 g of this food, but 146 g of Purina Pro Plan Small and Mini Puppy Healthy Start Chicken and 184 g of Bakers Meaty Meals Chicken. Same dog, same day, very different scoops.
Puppies need about three times their resting energy until 4 months, then about twice. Weigh weekly, because the portion changes as they grow.
