    Hi, if You have feeding table of Junior Large food, You can use this one. Now is recommended daily dose approx. 280 - 350 g. Thsi dose should be adapted to growth of your puppy. This one should be fed so its growth correspond to typical growth curve of appropiate breed. Best regards Martin Kvas
