Expert Answer

An Alaskan Malamute puppy that eats too much may face these problems: first, puppies digest poorly, so a one-time overload easily causes indigestion with vomiting, diarrhea, and bloating.

Second, long-term excess energy is stored as fat, leading to obesity that can cause joint dysplasia, heart disease, and diabetes.

Finally, overfeeding may cause behavioral issues such as lack of exercise, poor focus, and low obedience. Feed the puppy on a fixed schedule and portion size based on its age and weight.
