How much to feed my 3-month pitbull puppy? Worried about overfeeding.

Question

I have a 3 month 12 lbs red nose pitbull, im feeding him half a cup 3 times a day. He gets blue buffalo puppy chow, the bag says from 10-12 pounds to feed him 1 1/2 cups 3 times a day but that seems like alot, i dont wana over feed him. What do you reccomend? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 12 lbs

Good question! No, you don't want to overfeed him and I agree that sounds like a lot of food! If he is not too skinny (where you can see all his ribs), then keep doing what you are doing. Those amounts on the bag of food are a range because not every dog's metabolism is the same (just like people). So, you will just have to monitor him and adjust accordingly as he gets larger. Hope this helps. Best wishes!
