My GSD boy just turned 5 months, and he only weighs 42 lbs. He is pretty skinny and doesn't eat a lot. His parents are both pretty big, around 100 lbs. We used to feed him Acana, then switched to Now! because of the protein content. He didn't seem to like Now! so we are currently feeding him Performatrin Large Breed Puppy. We follow the guidelines in giving him 3-4 cups a day, but he doesn't always finish his food. He wasn't the runt of the litter either, so we are pretty confused. Perhaps he will get a growth spurt soon? Did anyone experience something like this?
