How much should you feed your German Shepherd?

Answer 1

Around the age of three or four weeks, they should be introduced to small amounts of puppy food. At first, they may play in it but will learn soon enough what to do with it. By the time they're weaned (about seven to eight weeks), they should be able to get complete nutrition from solid food. Puppies of small breeds (under 20 pounds as an adult) will reach full maturity by nine to 12 months, while large breeds (over 50 pounds) may not reach full maturity until the age of two. Unless you have other pets, your small-breed puppy is generally best fed with the free-feeding method. Most of them will develop good eating habits with food available to them at all times. Larger breed puppies should be fed with the portion control method. Some of the larger breeds are prone to bone growth problems and if they are overfed, excess protein and calcium can put them at higher risk for hypertrophic osteodystrophy (HOD), osteochondritis dissecans (OCD), and hip dysplasia.

Answer 2

I suggest a complete dry food and give 400g of it a day in two or three amounts a day... maybe two lots of 200g breakfast and dinner?

Answer 3

I suggest you get a book out on the instead of getting one straight away.

Answer 4

Ideally you should feed them 400 grams complete split into two lots morning and evening.
