Hello all. I adopted Ari a week ago today and so far, he is doing wonderful and has learned a lot this past week! I have been surprised at how fast he's been learning!
When we adopted Ari, his previous owners had him on a non-name brand dry puppy food and they told me that they were feeding him twice a day (2 cups in the a.m. and 2 cups in the p.m.)
We have since changed his food (slowly incorporating it into his diet as to not upset his tummy) and we have continued to keep him on his feeding schedule that I listed above.
My question is - are we feeding him enough??? (Note: Ari weighs roughly 70 lbs)
I am currently feeding him Pedigree dry puppy food and the back of the bag says that for his size, he should be eating just over 8 cups a day!!!
Ari seems fine with the 4 cups a day - but I'm just concerned that maybe I'm under-feeding him? He does get some milk bones throughout the day while we're training, etc...
What do you think? How much do you feed your doodles?
