Giant breed dogs usually need to consume more calories to maintain weight. But you don't want to overfeed at a single meal because this can increase the risk of bloat. For this reason, meals are spread out to two or three per day. Typically I do not recommend feeding more than 2.5–3 cups per feeding.
How do I know if I'm feeding my puppy enough?
How Much? Puppies need to eat a lot–and not too much. You should be able to feel but not see their ribs, and they should have a visible waist when you look down at them. This is true for puppies of any breed, big or small.
