i'm not familiar with SOJO. is SOJO a quality food? when my
dog was 3 months old he was fed 3 cups a day. 1 cup in the am,
1 cup noonish and 1 cup in the pm. he also had a snack and training
treats. maybe you have a smaller Shep. rule out anything medical.
it's not written in stone what a pup should weigh or their size in
general. my dog wasn't on a tight schedule when it came to feeding.
nah, he didn't say 4 cups per meal, 3 times a day.
4 cups a DAY.

I would also stick with scheduled meals. You should be able to feel ribs, maybe up it a little bit if he still seems absolutely starving, but he looks fine to me
