Labradoodle & Goldendoodle Forum
My Lucy, a standard labradoodle puppy of almost 4 months of age, is currently eating First Mate's Chicken and Blueberry food. It was the food the breeder started her on and what I've continued to feed. Lucy is about 25lbs. My husband is concerned that we may not be feeding her enough, as she's always cruising the counters for food (even though we've never fed her from the counters, nor given her scraps from the table). I contacted First Mate and asked them about quantity of food to feed and their suggestion was 3/4 cup a day for a dog up to 30lbs. They said their food was highly concentrated. We fed that much for a couple weeks, but at her last vet's appt. the vet said she was on the lean side and that we could up her food intake. We're currently feeding 1-1/2 to 2 cups of food a day, spread out into 3 feedings.
What is the consensus here on amount of food to feed? Could she be needing more? Thanks for any and all comments.
