How much dog food should a three-month-old Labrador be fed per day?

The amount of dog food fed to a Labrador depends on its individual situation, as well as the brand of dog food and its nutritional content. There is no fixed feeding amount for Labs, as it depends on their specific energy consumption and the nutrients provided by the dog food.

To determine if the current amount of dog food fed to a three-month-old Lab is sufficient, you can observe its stool. Normal stool is long and moist, with a slight softness. When a Lab eats too much dog food, it can cause soft stools, which can be divided into formed but easily broken, unfilled, even pasty, watery stools. These conditions may indicate a need to reduce the amount of dog food fed to the Lab. You can also choose to increase the number of feeding times and reduce the amount per feeding, which can promote the Lab's digestion and absorption of dog food and prevent soft stools.

On the contrary, if a Lab's stool output is less than two times a day or even once a day, it indicates that its food intake is insufficient. Due to lack of food, the intestinal peristalsis will slow down, resulting in reduced stool production.

If the stool is formed but hard, or even elliptical or granular in some parts, it means that the Lab is dehydrated and needs to increase its water intake. Long-term insufficient water consumption can increase the burden on the kidneys.
