I’ve always fed twice a day like above, works out to a cup and a half. Makes house training way easier and there’s no need to change the routine later on. Just my 2 cents.

Utilize that beaver, 330. Nothing in a bag will grow a puppy (and sustain and old dog) like beaver will. I mix my beaver (and /or deer scraps) into the Purina puppy chow, personally. My dogs have always liked Purina puppy chow. I'm not spending $5/lb on dog food either.

Some dogs you can free feed. labs might not be one of those breeds, however. My terriers I can. They'll nibble here and there just what that need, until you toss beaver in the bowl. Then they scarf it down.

I kept the bowl full and let him eat free will on my Jagd terrier. He never had any food hang ups other than he would not eat everything. You should make the pup sit when you fill the bowl and make him stay sitting until you say he can eat. You will never regret that he sits while you fill his dish rather than about eats your hand.

I always feed pro plan, I find that with quality dog food there is less waste to pick up. I always feed free choice too. My jack rustle never overeats.

Have had labs since I was 5 years old. Never rationed thier food.
Never had one over eat either.
Let them eat and get plenty of exercise. They can regulate themselves.


swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

Why don’t you feed the pups the meat from trapping?

You can grind the bones organs and meat in the right proportions 80-10-10 meat-organs-bones

Feed him less more often along with table scraps won’t hurt him one bit

We don’t regulate our’s dog food but he eats the meat we’re eating without any seasoning on it, ended up having to feed him blue buffalo as anything else would make him breakout and trust me I didn’t want to feed him the expensive stuff but he couldn’t eat the other so it was either buy that or shoot him so I decided to feed him the expensive stuff.
