Hi Di,

The best person to give you ‘puppy specific’ guidance on this is your vet. Are you in the process of switching to kibble only?
You might like to pop over to thelabradorforum.com and ask what other puppy parents have done 🙂

How much should I feed my 12 week puppy if I am mixing BARF with kibble as advised by the breeder? Originally he said one pack of BARF nearly 500gms with 3 cups of kibble a day. This seemed a lot.
I can get guides for kibble only but not a mix.
Thank you
Di

In reply to Patricia.

Hi Patricia, as long as she’s a healthy weight, and otherwise fit and well, then feeding what works well for her is fine. If you’re not sure about her weight, this article has some tips for assessing it: https://www.thelabradorsite.com/fat-labrador/ – and your vet will be able to weigh her and advise you if you’d like more help with this 🙂

I thought I saw where it said 2-4 cups a day for a 6 month old. I have been feeding her 2 cups in the morning and 2 cups at night. Is that ok?

I have a Lab/ Pyrenees mix named Lilly that is almost 5 months old. Should I be feeding her in portions? At first, I was doing that but it seemed like she always had to go #2. So I played around with her feeding times, that worked for our schedule, now I feed her before I go to work and she’s on a potty schedule. Lilly gets training treats throughout the day but i feel as if she’s still hungry because she’s always eating whatever she can find in the yard or chewing on something. Any suggestions?

Hi,
I have been feeding my lab pup, Koda, Orijen Large Breed Puppy with amazing grains since he was 3 months old and now he is 8 months young. He seems to be doing very good on it and I personally think the ingredients are the best. But, I do have a question about the high 38% protein, will this effect his growth in the way being too fast. My breeder voiced her concerns about the high protein and said to change his food to a lower protein, around 26%. She thinks he is growing too fast. He is now around 75 pounds. Can you please let me know what your opinion is about the Orijen large breed puppy and the 38% protein. Thank you for your time.
Bill

I’ve always enjoyed my labrador although I had to miss him quite some time in the first years when I was still actively playing in Poker tourneys. Nowadays I usually play online so I can spend way more time with my buddy.
