Am i feeding too little?
My 11 month old has been on Orijen since he was 10 weeks old. I started him off with large puppy, and switched him to Adult (per the vet's advice) at around 4 or 5 months.
He was 62lbs at 9 months of age, and I'm assuming he's around 70lbs now (haven't weighed him). The issue is, I can see a *little* bit of his ribs when he is in motion. Is this OK, or should I "up" the feeding? I am currently feeding him two times a day. Each feeding, I fill up a 12oz cup to the top. His stools look great, so I don't think it's a possible health issue? |

I think as long as you can't see the first 2 ribs, you're ok. Its fine to see the others. You could always up your food a little bit if you are concerned. At that age they can still be a little slim, I know Dax didn't start filling out until 14 months or so.

Seeing a little bit of rib when the dog is in motion is A-OK. Means your dog is nice and lean.
