Why is my 2-month-old puppy eating so much and gaining weight?

My pom Emmy is eating too much. She is just 2 month old. She is now bulky and weighs 7 kg. Is it okay for her?

At this age there is rarely such a thing as "eating too much", i would definitely not be worried about her weight but it is a sign that your dog is definitely not a pure Pom, it's probably mixed with some other larger breed.
