Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Montana needs to be on a puppy food, almost all of which have a feeding chart on the back. There is a little variation among individuals but that is a good place to start. I can’t give you an exact calorie requirement without seeing Montana and deciding if she is thin, ideal or a little chunky for her frame. Ballpark is likely around 600 kcals per day. For most foods that’s 2-3cups. Ideally, divide that into three small meals per day. If you’d like a more exact recommendation, talk to your vet and she can calculate that for you. Best wishes to you and Montana!
