How much should a 91/2 month old female Pembroke weigh?

I just weighed my 9 1/2 month old Pembroke female and I am afraid she is overweight (about 24 pounds now).

How much should she weigh at this stage? thanks

Yes, you can add any protein and it will be beneficial, up to 20% of her food, but if you add that much, then reduce the kibble accordingly. I like to give just the plain kibble some of the time, to make sure I don't create a finicky eater, or a dog that over eats simply because I'm adding stuff. Pumpkin I'm sure you are giving in a very small amount, so that's not a problem. If the pup is regular on it's own however, I don't see the need to use it.

Thanks---yes, just a spoonful of pumpkin because in the start she sometimes had problems with both diarrhea and constipation, both which the pumpkin helps. Sometimes I don't give it at all, but she does get it several times a week.
