I went yesterday morning to go get some more dog food for my puppy. I just got two of the normal sized cans, like these.

And now they're completely gone. So is it normal for a six week puppy to eat this much?

Sorry if it's a dumb question, I've never had a puppy before. Oh, and her paw's fine too.

Yeah, as long as you give it to her, she'll eat it. Don't let her though, only put a bit in her bowl at meal times, otherwise she'll get fat.

Yes it is. You have to give her normal portions, small ones and puppy food.

Maybe just 2/3 times a day and a small portion. NOT THAT MUCH. Depends on her weight though. I'd consult a vet.

If you give her all of that she'll eat it... She won't mind but that doesn't mean it's healthy. It's important to train her cuz if not she'll get unhealthy and I'm sure you don't want that.

like other posters have stated, don't just keep putting food out. your puppy will eat damn near anything put out in front of her. so it's up to you to limit the intake.

limit her. say like half a can in the morning, half a can at night. or something like this ( depending on her size,breed etc etc) also make sure its food ment for puppies, it will help her grow and give her the nutrients she needs to be healthy and strong and grow properly.

Puppies will EAT, especially if they're a larger breed dog.

I would get them some hard food to mix in with the canned. Puppies will eat about 3 times a day and slowly, their food needs to be cut down lower and lower as they grow.
