You should be feeding a LARGE BREED puppy food from a high quality food (Iams, Science Diet, Purina, etc). You are going to be having a huge dog on your hands. The large breed formula helps them to grow near the same rate as the skeleton, therefore less likely to have bone and joint problems (hip dysplasia and OCD of joints). Feed the daily amount recommend on the bag divided into 2 feedings per day (if he is eating well). You don't want them to be fat as a puppy.

You will be getting vaccinations next week, so that would be a good time to ask your veterinarian!
