FREEZE-DRIED RAW FEEDING GUIDE

How much to feed a Labrador Retriever

Quick answer: An adult Labrador Retriever typically weighs 55–80 lb and needs about 22.0–32.0 oz of freeze-dried raw food per day — roughly 2–3% of body weight — usually split across two meals. Use the chart below to dial in the right amount, then adjust to keep a lean, healthy condition.

Labrador Retriever daily feeding chart

Approximate daily amount of freeze-dried raw for a healthy, moderately active adult. Smaller dogs sit at the higher % of body weight, larger dogs at the lower.

Adult weightPer dayPer meal (×2)
5 lb 2.0 oz 1.0 oz
10 lb 4.0 oz 2.0 oz
20 lb 8.0 oz 4.0 oz
30 lb 12.0 oz 6.0 oz
40 lb 16.0 oz 8.0 oz
50 lb 20.0 oz 10.0 oz
60 lb Labrador Retriever 24.0 oz 12.0 oz
75 lb Labrador Retriever 30.0 oz 15.0 oz
90 lb 36.0 oz 18.0 oz
110 lb 44.0 oz 22.0 oz

Freeze-dried raw is measured before rehydrating. These are starting points based on ~2–3% of ideal body weight — always adjust to body condition, not the bag.

Feeding a Labrador Retriever: what to know

Labradors are famously food-motivated and prone to weight gain, so measure every meal and feed to a lean, waisted body condition rather than to the bowl. Their love of food makes them easy to overfeed — resist the begging eyes.

By life stage

  • Puppy: growing Labrador Retriever puppies need more fuel — start around 5–8% of current body weight per day across 3–4 meals, tapering toward adult amounts as they mature.
  • Adult: about 22.0–32.0 oz/day, split into two meals.
  • Senior: similar to adult but watch for lower activity — trim portions if you feel less of a waistline.

Labrador Retriever feeding questions

How much should I feed a Labrador Retriever per day?
An adult Labrador Retriever (55–80 lb) needs roughly 22.0–32.0 oz of freeze-dried raw per day, split between two meals, then adjust to keep a lean condition.
How many times a day should a Labrador Retriever eat?
Most adult Labrador Retrievers do well on two meals a day. Puppies need 3–4 smaller meals while they're growing.
How much should a Labrador Retriever puppy eat?
Puppies use a lot of energy growing — start near 5–8% of their current body weight per day, spread across 3–4 meals, and step down toward adult portions as they reach maturity.
Is freeze-dried raw good for a Labrador Retriever?
Yes. Freeze-dried raw delivers whole-food, minimally processed nutrition that suits Labrador Retrievers of every life stage — including large breeds. It's complete-and-balanced, safety-tested, and far easier to serve than frozen raw.
