It really does depend on the food though but somewhere around the 200 mark is probably just right 
I cant rmeber how much Fin weighed at 3 months they seem to put it on so quickly.... he may be a litle light but so long as you see stepped increases when you weigh him hes doing fine. my finn went up around 1.2kg stages every 2 weeks around that age and has now slowed to around 6-800g every two weeks
Just to say.... have a look around for some better quality food for him. have a look at the price your paying per week and see if you cant buy larger amounts that will last longer of a better quality food cheaper. There are lots on line - supermarket foods are really honestly just cr*p |
Yes i would agree that supermarket foods are pretty crap...but if your puppy is on purina beta puppy complete then your ok as it has all the nutrition and vitamins etc pups need for growth.See if you can get pup to eat the beta on its own tinned/pouches meat has little nitritional value and are very low in protein, mix a small amount in for smell factor if he wont eat the beta on its own.
There are loads of different brands of food out there, some better than others.Sudden changes in diet is a no no though as he will get the runs.If you decide to change his food do it very very slowly mixing old and new together over a about ten days, otherwise id advise sticking to what he/she is used to providing he/she is happy,healthy and doing well on it.
