Hello, this somewhat depends on what you are feeding Lucy. Most manufacturers will have recommendations on the bag, but in general, a puppy like this should eat about 1 cup of kibble per day or approximately 1, 13 ounce can of wet food per day. Depending on how fast she eats, or how much she leaves behind will determine if you need to make any adjustments. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

    Aww Lucy is adorable! I'd recommend a small breed puppy food until she reaches a year old, then switching slowly over the course of a week to small breed adult food. See the ink below for more information https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/health/puppy-feeding-fundamentals/
