Pups gain fast the first week or two, then their growth rate slows down a bit. As long as they are eating, have firm poop, and are gaining just a little, they should be okay.

Puppies gain wieght because they need time to grow and thier bodies are not used to digusting food. Once it gets to be older the gaining will stop.It is very normal for pups to gain the first couple weeks to a month.
