I like to feed four to six smaller meals a day with a young puppy. Please give a large breed dog food so Toby doesn’t grow too fast. I judge the amount to feed by how hungry he is. If he’s ravenous at each meal you are not feeding enough. I increase the amount at each feeding so he’s hungry and just finishes the food. As he grows you’ll find he’ll only want to eat two times a day. As he grows his activity level and growth spurts change the amount of food he needs so I always feed puppies based on their hunger not a specific amount. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Toby.
