Congratulations on your new puppy! You should feed him 3-4 times a day until he is 4-6 months old. Then he can be fed twice a day. The amount of food to feed him depends on the diet you feed him. Every dog food bag will have instructions on the back and this is a loose guide. You and your veterinarian can adjust the food as needed. Bubba MUST eat a large breed puppy food. The diet I recommend is the Royal Canin German Shepherd Puppy. This diet will allow an even growth and it is highly digestible. German Shepherds can be very sensitive dogs when it comes to food. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
