HI everyone,

Iā€™m feeding him Purina puppy food and the serving size is 1 cup per day. So I give him 1/3 cup 3 times. I feel that itā€™s not enough for him even thought itā€™s the recommended serving and my puppy has knuckling problem so Iā€™m supposed to give him low protein food. Plz let me know if anyone knows low protein food and about this serving size.

Purina is not a good quality food and 1 cup of day for a growing puppy is definitely not enough food at all.

Hi, I agree with CBrugs advice, 1 cup a day for a growing puppy is not enough food. A puppy should be eating 1 cup of food 3 times a day until they are about 6 months old, and then reduce their feedings to 1 cup twice a day. I also agree that Purina isn't the best quality of food, I don't know about low protein foods, but you can take a look on the Dog Food Ratings on this site, and see if there is a better quality of food with a low protein. You want to choose a food that has a rating of 4 Star or higher.

Thanks for the reply. Is it ok if I give adult dog food to my puppy with low protein or we canā€™t give it to him yet?

Basically everyone has guided you on the right path. And definitely all dogs especially puppies needs high protein. Like [MENTION=2894]2BullyMama[/MENTION] gave you top quality kibbles Acana, Fromm, Zingnature, Farmina, Earthborn Holistic. As most knows if itā€™s a kibble youā€™re going withi prefer Acana single protein bags. You can easily monitor IF any allergies n stay away from that protein. Puppies needs to have on regular basis ā€œrotation ā€œ of protein so their immune system builds up n avoids allergies. Do feed chicken so he gets use to it. Acana has, chicken, Duck, pork, lamb, beef, fish... so after each bag, try another protein. :)
