Food.

We feed them about 2 cups of food twice a day. If you notice extra food, do a little less. If you notice not enough food, give a little more. Let them eat until they stop and leave it alone. Then remove the bowl so that they don't graze.  In about 20-40 minutes take them for a walk. Smaller puppies have smaller bladders so they may need to evacuate all in about that time.
If you let them eat all day, they will poop all day.
NO GRAZE EATING!!!

I feed them smart puppy iams to start.  Then jump them up to adult iams.
There are many different opinions about dog foods and dog food companies.
Some facts include nutritional quality differences, teting and treatment of animals, and costs.

Iams is nutritious and good quality.  The difference between it some other brands varies.
There are dog food brands that offer a much higher quality of meat and vegetables in it for alot more money.
They usually are carried in local stores and need to be shipped.
I don't personally eat exclusively organic foods so I don't consequently feed my dogs that way.
Acana, call of the wild and more are some brands for you to consider if you'd like to go that way.

Beneful, science diet, and iams are all about the same.

Stay away fom old roy and pedigree.

When you switch foods, mix half old food with half new food for about a week to ween them into it.

Canned food is usually tastier and less healthy.  I avoid it unless they need it.

My vet suggested Iams.  I trust my vet.  Consult your vet.
