Weight is of no significance as all dogs will weigh differently and there is no set weight. A pic will help decipher this. Until i know if he is underweight or not i can't comment on the eating situation.

I worry about Bruno too because he's not a hungry puppy either. My other two dogs are both half lab so they gobble their food up and it's gone in a matter of minutes whereas Bruno seems to pick at his and had to be encouraged to eat it.

He's looking healthy though so I think he's doing ok. All dogs are different Smile

Looks fine to me too! Always best to go by the look of the pup not the weight as ive found out, if you can see a clear waist line and feel their ribs then your on the right track! Smile

Hi, my Jasmine is 10 weeksish and is exactly the same. She picks at her meals, especially the morning one. She looks skinny to me, although the vet says she is fine weight wise.

I wouldn't worry. It seems its quite normal!
