Especially for large breed puppy is fundamental to provide a complete diet. Good quality commercial diets (Hill's, Royal Canin) are definitively the best choice to make sure you provide all the nutrients Scooby needs. He need a puppy diet and you can continue with it till he is fully grown. Regarding the daily amount, it depends on the brand and type of food you get, you will find the correct dose on the back of the food package. If you would like further advices, upload a picture of the food of your choice and we will be able to let you know the exact dose. Please post again on the forum if you would like further advices. I hope this answer was helpful.
