If a puppy is overfed, it can suffer from indigestion, vomiting, diarrhea, and bloating, and long-term overfeeding may lead to obesity and strain on developing joints. Puppies have small stomachs and need measured portions.
Feed by age-appropriate amounts and split meals into several small servings per day. If the puppy has a swollen belly or keeps vomiting, reduce portions and consult a vet if symptoms persist.
