Hello, I've got Morty on platinum dry puppy food, he's been on it for nearly 2 weeks now, I'm feeding him the reccomended amount for his age and size but he seems to be looking very skinny and from a home weighing scale he's weighing around 3kg which when I've researched, that's really low for his breed and age, should I be concerned at this stage ? thank you.

I recommend to increase his food by 1/4 - 1/2 cup per day. If he is still looking thin, increase it again. Also make sure he does not have parasites that could be stealing his nutrition. Lastly, make sure to have your vet give their opinion. Puppies do go through a lanky stage when they are growing quickly. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
