How much food and how many times a day for my 4.5-month-old puppies?

Question

What quantities should I feed my 4.5 months old puppies? And should I feed them for 2 or 3 times per day? Their food is Mera junior 2 12.5 KG. (Also any clue when will I need to reorder the 12.5kg, for how long will it last?). Thanks in advance! Pet's info: Dog | Doberman Pinscher | Male | unneutered | 4 months and 18 days old | 55 lbs

Hi there and thank you for your question. First, to answer your question about feeding two or three times daily. Over the years in my practice I have seen many puppies fed both ways. And these puppies look and act healthy and happy. As long as the owners are feeding the same total daily amount required to maintain healthy weight, You can feed either two or three times daily based on your schedule and what is convenient to you. Second, to answer your question about how much to feed. I try and keep this answer as simple as possible. During the first year that they are a puppy, I recommend weighing them each week on an accurate scale. After you obtain their weight and you feel as if their body condition score is ideal, please look on the back of your bag of food and feed the amount of food they recommend for that age and that weight of your animal. It’s just that easy. Once they reach adulthood, you do not need to weigh them nearly as frequently. Lastly, I cannot give you an accurate answer as to when to re-order the bag but you should have a real good idea once you start utilizing the method that I have recommended above. I hope this has helped you. Have a great day.
