I have a great dane pup athat is 5 months and for breakfast he eats eggs (scrambled). Then SOMETIMES he eats 2 cups of dog food in the afternoon and 2 cups in the evening. But some days he will just eat his breakfast and 2 cups of food but he wont finish the 2 cups of dog food when i put it in his bowl he will eat that through out the day. He weighs about 60lb he is at my knees. Is that normal for him to do?

He is actually up to my waist. This is the person who wrote the question.

That's really on the small side in amount of food for a 5 month old to be eating (2-4 cups/day + eggs), depending on how big the scramble is I guess. I have 2 male puppies who are now 7 months. At 5 months they were EACH eating 8-10 cups of Precise Holistic Complete Large Breed Puppy PER DAY (sire was 180# at 2 yrs so they were expected to be big). Weight of 60# at 5 months is not too bad considering how much your puppy is eating but mine were around 75# at 4 months. Depending on how tall you are, 60# and at your waist strongly suggests your dog is too thin.
