How much you feed is based on what food you feed. What food are you feeding? Also there should be a recommended feeding guide on the kibble bag that goes by age and weight and is a good starting point anyway. I was feeding Canidae ALS at that age to my pup (who is now 9 months old), he was 14 pounds at 9 weeks and he was eating between 1 1/2 and 2 cups of food per day. But as I said how much you feed will depend on the food you feed, their activity level, etc. But between birth and 6 months they eat substantially more than 6+ months.

Good luck!
