You really shouldn't have to give supplements to your puppy for proper growth. You should give a high quality food instead, that will allow for proper growth. His height will fluctuate as he grows and since he is a large breed dog he will have growth spurts periodically. I would not worry about his height and focus on his body condition score for now. Here is a website link with information on how to determine body condition score in growing puppies. http://www.mabcr.org/template/upload_files/PuppyBodyCondChart.pdf Best wishes with your puppy Bran. I am sure he is just fine and growing like a normal puppy should! Take care.
