    Feeding my new puppy

    I am picking my 9 week old lab up tomorrow night, and am so excited! He has been eating Diamond Puppy food from the breeder and is doing really good with it. Should I follow what the bag recommends as far as amount to feed as he grows? I will obviously keep the same feeding amount and schedule that he's been on, but I just want to make sure that I feed the correct amounts as he grows!

    the breeder should be able to help guide you on how much to feed, when to increase quantity (and how), etc.

    Very excited for you! Agree with Tanya's advice. The bags are a guideline but many find the portions (usually) too generous. Feel free to let us know how much he's getting to start out with and there are many who can guide you along the way.

    “Because of the dog's joyfulness, our own is increased. It is no small gift. It is not the least reason why we should honor as well as love the dog of our own life, and the dog down the street, and all the dogs not yet born. What would the world be like without music or rivers or the green and tender grass? What would this world be like without dogs?”
