Question
I have a 2 months golden retriever puppy.I researched a lot about this breed info so i know it gets obesity easily ,so what shall i feed it.Can u give suggestions.

Answer
If it was eating a commercial puppy chow such as Pedigree, I would continue it.  If not, see if you can find the Pedigree and start replacing what it is eating with the Pedigree until after a week or more, it is all Pedigree.  I think Royal Canin is available in India too.  It would be fine too.  

You are absolutely right to be concerned about obesity.  For now a half cup each of 3 times a day should be good.  You may need to increase it to a full cup before long.  Go to http://www.longliveyourdog.com/twoplus/RateYourDog.aspx  Increase or decrease how much you are feeding as needed to keep it near ideal body condition.
