Question
how much should I feed our two 14 week old cocker spaniels daily?

Answer
At this age they will eat 2 x more than an adult dog of the same weight.  They need to be fed 4 or 5 times a day.

I'd strongly recommend a premium canned food and little or no kibble.
My favorite is Canidae.  Go to Canidae.com to locate a store near you.
I also like AvoDerm (PetSmart now carries this).

So you'd look at the feeding instructions on the can - for instance, the Canidae can says 1 can per 20 lbs of adult dog. Let's say
Your pups weigh 5 lbs so for an adult dog of that weight you'd feed 1/4 can.  For a puppy - double that = 1/2 can.

Hope this helps.
