Cooter Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I just got a 7 wk black lab and the people I got him from were feeding him a half cup in morning and evening. He is 11lbs and absolutely hoover vacs his food down. So is a cup a day enough? Any general guidelines for age and weight to determine how much food? Thanks.

SpringerGuy Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I let my pups eat as much as they want until around 8 to 10 months of age. They are little growing machines and need the energy. Look on your puppy food bag, it should give you some guidelines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mascad Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I agree, use the guidelines on the bag. A cup a day sounds like too little, I would definately add at least a half a cup in the afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rundrave Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 i just read on the back of the bag to determine. For my current puppy I am doing 5 cups a day, (2 in the morning and 3 in the evening)My 2.5yr old dog gets 4 cups (2 in the am, 2 in the pm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
