That should be OK for one bag. If possible after this bag I would go back to a puppy food for another month or two months depending on how large your puppy is. Some labs will continue to grow for 12 to 18 months of age others plateau around 10 to 12 months. If there's any doubt if your puppy us on the growing stage you can ask your veterinarian.
