Is my 13-week Great Pyrenees puppy's 24 lb weight normal for growth?

Question

My female Great Pyrenees recently had a vet visit and she weighed in at about 24 lbs. at 13 weeks. is this normal? Should we be feeding her more often or something different to make sure she's getting glad of the nutrients she needs and it growing okay? We feed her Whole Hearted puppy food about two times a day. Suggestions? Pet's info: Dog | Great Pyrenees | Female | spayed | 3 months and 7 days old | 60 lbs

Did your veterinarian tell you that they were concerned about Coco's weight? If not, then I would continue as you have been doing. (Remember, it is always better to keep puppies a little thin to help prevent joint problems.) I haven't used Wholehearted's puppy diet before, but it looks like a good food. I think feeding twice daily is perfect at this point. (I will feed three times a day until they are 3 months old, then drop down to twice daily.) I don't have any concerns about what you're doing for Coco, but be sure to contact your vet if you have any concerns since they have examined her and can give you a better idea about her weight. I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
