Hello, Our lab is 10 weeks old and weighs about 7kg. How much food should we be giving him? We've been feeding him Royal Canin and obviously giving lots of treats for good behaviour but just wanted a rough guideline? Thank you.
You need to follow the feeding guidance from the manufacturer and by assessing your puppy's shape as to what is the correct amount. Be aware though that manufacturers frequently overstate the amount of food needed by a puppy. Also if you are using lots of treats you will need to reduce the daily food ration to prevent an overweight puppy. With a young puppy I usually advice that you use a portion, if not all of a daily food ration as training treats.
Hi Robbie, and welcome to the forum! You can find a chart with rough quantities and guidelines here: Feeding Your Labrador Puppy However, bear in mind that individual puppies vary widely - even brothers and sisters from the same litter - in how much food they will need to maintain the same growth rate. Plus brands vary too, so any guidelines you are given can only ever be approximate.
