Default 9 month old puppy food question..Mwguy101

I have a 9 month year old gsd. I feed him blue buffalo large breed puppy food. I am thinking about switing him over to the lamb and oats food. How much food should he eat a day? I have been giving him 2 cups in the morning and another 2 cups in the evening. Is that to much? He is averaging about 2 cups a day unless I spike it with some goodies or rice.

There is no way for us to know if that is a good amount for him to be eating or not. You have to go by how the individual dog/pup looks. If I fed my female 4 cups a day, she would weigh 100 lbs rather than the 75 ish that is ideal for her. Yet another dog, fed 4 coa a farty might be on the thin side. Can you post pictures of him?
