Boston Sizing

Bostons come in all sizes so ask your vet if he thinks your pup is the proper weight. As long as you can not see his backbone I am sure he is doing fine. It sounds like ALOT of food. We feed our grown pups 1/2 cup of dry in the morning and 1/2 cup of dry in the evening. That is all. We do have one thinner female and I give her an extra 1/4 cup each feeding. Our vet says they are fine. Another female is very stocky and she eats less than the thin one. But she is also less active. The thin one is very hyper-active!
