How do I know if my puppy is overfed?

A very common symptom of overfeeding is when a dog's bowel movement is normal in the morning but soft at night. While some breeds appear to be more prone to gas, experiencing frequent gas that is out of the ordinary in terms of smell usually suggests something isn't quite right in their system.

What happens if I Underfeed my puppy?

Lack of energy: Lethargy can be a sign of illness, especially if coupled with depression or a down mood. But it can also be a sign that your dog is not getting the proper nutrition to keep him healthy and strong. Skin & Coat issues: Loss of hair, a scruffy coat or dry skin can all be signs of underfeeding as well.
