The following provides a starting point for feeding your puppy. Age, breed, weight, activity level, and other factors will affect the amount of food required. Feed your puppy three times daily until 6 months of age; then feed twice daily. Based on your dog’s individual needs, adjust your pet’s daily intake up or down to help maintain a healthy body condition. Two to four times more food may be required for gestating and lactating females. Always provide your dog with plenty of fresh water in a separate bowl, and to ensure your dog’s good health, see your veterinarian regularly.

The following chart provides a good place to start, but determining the correct amount of food for your pet depends upon your evaluation of your pet's overall performance on the amount of food consumed along with any treats given.
