Puppy food and Amount

Question
I know that most of the brands of dogfoods have the amount on the package but my problem and question is this.  We live in Japan and recently bought a beagle that is Japanese Kennel Certified. They gave us a bag of Hills Science Diet to feed her.  The little bit of English that is on there says it has DHA  it's Pro and has gold on the package.  I don't know how much I should be feeding her because everything in the package is in Japanese.  So how much should I feed a 3 month old beagle? Should I consider changing her diet or continue feeding her the same brand  for the first year of her life?  I would ask the veterinarian here but they are Japanese also and its hard with a language barrier.  Please help.

Thanks,
Rose

Answer
Hi Rose;
Well, I tried to find it, and am not having much luck, so I guess the best bet if for me to send you Science Diet's website, so you can look at all the products and find what you are feeding, and check it out there.
Apparently all their products have PRO in it. Stands for product.
I tried searching for  " has DHA" and got no results found.
The site should give you all the information about which formula to feed and how much.
Just click on each product till you find the bag your's is in.
I couldn't find a gold bag or one with any gold on it that I could tell.
If it doesn't, write me back and I will go to Petsmart and look on the label and find out how much.
We will have to go to Petsmart this week anyway.
Don't think it is too much to ask for me to go to the store and look for you.
Nothing is too muchh to do when it comes to the health of a little child or animal. OK?
