Oh my goodness, Sergi is so cute! Each bag of food has a different daily requirement, so read his bag of puppy food's instructions to get that amount. Divide it into three equal portions to feed him morning, noon, and evening. Once he is six months old, you can feed him twice a day, morning and evening. I hope this helps!
