At eight weeks, healthy puppies have big tummies and waddle slightly as they walk.

Regular daily exercise helps increase your puppy's appetite, thus allowing them to eat more nutritious food. However, do not overwork your puppy.

For example, here's a formula that Wisdom Panel™ veterinarians recommend: Multiply your pup's weight at four months by two to get an estimate of their adult weight. So, if your dog weighs 15 lb. at four months, their adult weight may be around 30 lb. (give or take a few pounds).
