Maverick is 8 months old and I'm going to weigh him today...I was curious on how many cups of food he should be eating in and day and how many times he should fed during the day..also I shop for dog food at Wal- Mart but I want to be sure I am feeding him the right brand I have looked online for suggestions but I just read what ingredients should be included in the food..not the brand, what do you feed your dane? he has been eating pedigree but he looks thinnish to me so i dont know...oh and his coat is dry.
