Answer

The daily amount you will need to feed your lab pup will depend on the dog food you are using. Any dog food you buy will have guidlines on the back of the packet of how much you need to be feeding your pup depending on their age.

Remember if it is a daily amount to give them 1/3 as you will be feeding him 3 times daily. Now as these will only be recommended amounts you should adapt this to your dog. If the amount you put down gets eaten in 1 min flat give them a little bit more at the next mealtime. If 10 mins have passed and your lab still hasn't finished and shows no interest in finishing it, give him a little less next time.

Soon enough you will know exactly what the right amount is for your lab.
