Start by giving the recommended amount, but if he still seems hungry and is either losing weight or isn't growing rapidly, then increase the amount. The guidelines on the bag are just that - guidelines. They're all different, and have different energy levels. If Jake's an active boy, then he may need a bit more.

Just keep an eye on him & if it looks like he's getting a bit too podgy, then cut back a little!

Agree they are all different. Just adjust based on activity and apperance. Don't forget about treats if you are using them for training.

With puppies I just go by their appearance. As long as they don't gain too much weight I let them eat as much as they want.
