We have finally found Storm a food she likes. it is a puppy food made by our local butcher and she loves it. Now, she weighs 8kg and is 4 months old on the 23rd. How often should she be eating and how much for each meal? She is currently eating 3 times a day and having 100-150g per meal. Is it too much/too little?

Feeding quantities can vary a lot depending on the food so it's hard to say. That does sound quite a lot but you'd need to check with your butcher what he recommends.

The best advice, though, is to monitor Storm's weight. Even for puppies, you want them not to have a layer of fat (puppy fat being good is a myth, in case you hear that one). You should always be able to feel ribs with only light pressure, but not see them when the dog is standing still.
