    I am confused over feeding a Lab puppy. He is 10 weeks old. Weighs 22lbs/just under 10kgs. His feed is Purina Beta Puppy Turkey/Lamb. The guide on the pack is not much use as you need to know his expected adult weight. Taking the almost heaviest final weight on their chart (he's a big puppy) they say 95/100g a day. But on the Labrodor Site there is a chart which says approx. 200g a day for his weight. 95/100g doesn't seem very much. He seems happy and bouncy but always absolutely scubbers his food when given. Worried I am underfeeding him and he's hungry.

    I just had a look at the feeding chart. It only goes up to 25Kg and if you have a potentially big lab he could be 30+ Kg.
    Mine was on Purina Pro plan large breed so guidelines went to a higher end weight.
    Give Purina a ring. They have a very good help line. I would say it should be nearer 200g.
