Question
I have a 9 month old lab that is 65 pounds. I was wondering how much I should be feeding her a day. I'm feeding her 4 cups right now, just wondering if that is enough?

Answer
Likely it is too much.  Evaluate the dog as illustrated in this link, http://www.longliveyourdog.com/twoplus/RateYourDog.aspx You may want the vet to confirm your judgment. Adjust the dogs food and exercise as needed to reach its ideal body condition.
