    Pup Poops A LOT

    Food Amount I follow the instructions on the bag and feed her about a cup and a half once in the morning and a cup and a half in the evening. She doesn't always eat everything in the bowl. If she doesn't eat everything she comes pretty close, however.

    Heartworm Med Question

    Thanks for the info! Our pup is 5 months old was weighted last week at 25 lbs. I am going to buy the six pack for dogs 25-50 lbs. If she is over 50 lbs by the time I'm finished I'll just throw away the lst tablet or two. However, our breeder says she shouldn't be much more than 50 lbs.
