Good evening!
I have been lurking on this site for about six weeks, just trying to soak up as much information as I can. We just got our first EM on the 23rd of December (his name is Augustus).
He seems to be a pretty finicky eater. We started him on Acana Pacifica and he really didn't seem to like it, so we transitioned him to Acana Prairie. He barely eats 2.5 cups per day. I started to add toppings like scrambled eggs and beef (big Mommy mistake, because this will become a bad habit).
My concern is that he is barely 21 pounds, and will turn 11 weeks tomorrow. At the end of the day, slow and steady is what I want for my pup to be healthy as an adult. I am concerned that we are doing something wrong? On the healthy dog profile chart, he is about a "5".
I don't really care how big he gets, as long as he is healthy (bone and muscles) but I have new Mommy nervous concerns about his weight.
