You should feed her according to the instructions on the food label as it it differs from brand to brand. regarding her eating her feces, it's very common in puppies but should be discouraged of course, there are many supplements that you can find in pet shops that can help with this problem, one example is called "deter", it makes the poop very bitter and dogs usually hates the taste.
