What the correct Labrador feeding amount by age?

Answer by  Falcongirl77 (73)

This depends on the size and weight of the dog. However, generally a puppy will need a couple of cups of dry food twice a day. As an adult, the dog will need about one cup twice per day.

There isn't one. Labradors range a lot in size and activity. A small, laid back dog will eat far less than a large, hyper-active one of the same age. Don't measure the quantity of food - check your dog's ribs. If you can't feel them, feed him less than you did yesterday. If his ribs are prominent, feed him more.

From 4 to 8 months a Labrador puppy should be feed morning, noon and night. From 9 months to a year slowly reduce the amount of feeding times so that by 12 months your Labrador is eating one large meal or two smaller meals a day.

The general feeding amount doesn't usually go by age. It goes by weight. For a lab over 50 pounds, it is recommended to feed the dog 3-4 cups a day.
