Am I overfeeding my 10-month-old puppy? How much should he eat?

Question

How often should i be feeding my 10 month old dog? i feel like i have been feeding him too much and would like to get on a daily routine with him on my feeding habits. I fill about half or sometimes full of a red solo cup up and feed him probably about 4-5 times a day and i feel as if it is over feeding.

If you aren't measuring his food and are feeding him 4-5 times a day, then yes I would be concerned that you are over feeding Rocky. It's great that you want to get on a daily routine with feeding him! He should be fed a puppy formulated food until he is a year old. That's because he needs higher amounts of protein, calories, and calcium than an adult dog, and a puppy formulated food will provide it. You should feed Rocky twice a day, once in the morning and once in the early evening. I would feed him according to the package instructions on his dog food, and use a measuring cup to measure out his food.
