My puppy is always hungry after eating. How much food is enough?

Question

How much should I be feeding? I feed nutrena large breed puppy chow and they recommend 2-3 cups for 15-25lb dogs. He weighs less than 15 I think, but still seems extremely hungry after each meal. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | unneutered | 1 month and 27 days old | 14 lbs

You should weigh your dog. If you take him to your vet, you can usually weigh him for free. Then follow the instructions on the bag. If they recommend 2-3 cups (daily) for 15 -25 lbs puppies, then a 15 lbs puppy would get 2 cups split up over 4 feeds/day. If your puppy loses condition or weight I suggest you either increase the amount of feed or change (transition over several days) to a better puppy food such as manufactured by Hill's, Royal Canin or Purina Pro Plan, etc.
