Should I be feeding my 5 month old lab benetiful puppy brand and how much does she need per day. She is pretty active but is not interested in eating all of her food at both feeding 7am and 7pm. Should I cut back to once per day?

Feedng caries greatly from dog to dog and depends on the size of the dog. For example I have 2 poodles and although they are the same breed one is several kilograms heavier than the other and needs a lot more food.

To give you a general idea a 5 month old lab should weigh around 30-40lb and eat about 1 1/2 cups of dry food a day (or half/half dry and wet)
