How much wet and dry food for 7-week-old underweight pit bull puppies?

Question

I Just took in two baby pit bulls from a friend who will be 7 weeks on Monday both puppy’s are underweight from not being fed by the previous owner after moms milk dried up. I am currently feeding them wholehearted pet food for all breads and all life stages. Both wet and dry food and they are both handling the food well. I was hoping someone could inform me how much dry food to feed at each feeding three times a day and how often wet food is recommended and the amount of that as well?

Hello. There is no hard set rules for this, but I would imagine you want to feed at least 1/4 - 1/2 cup of dry plus about a tablespoon of canned 3 times a day. Adjust as the puppies grow, but you really cannot overfeed a fast growing puppy. They will eat what they want, so if they leave any behind, cut back temporarily until their stomachs catch up.
