As always I agree with Pitlove.
I too am growing a monster GSD right now. He’s expected to be 100+. His mother is 90. Much too big for the breed, but that’s a long story…
My boy has gained a fairly steady 2 lbs/wk pretty much since he was born.
The most important things to remember:
-keep calcium 1.5% max
-make sure she gets plenty of protein
-steady growth, not fast growth
I had a GSD that topped out at 85/90 lbs and it took him 3 yrs to get there. He had 1 last little growth spurt to really fill out.
-thinner puppy is better than chubby puppy
I feed my guy 3x/day totalling 4 cups. He also gets 2 Tbsp pumpkin in morning. The food he’s on now seems to satisfy him. Pretty soon he’ll be getting a little more. The food he was on until 6 months required 6+ cups. He was still hungry.
He’s 8 mon 70+ lbs. Tall, long, lanky, skinny. Healthy as can be.
I’m sure your dog will be fine. Feed her LBP/all life stages food and watch the calcium.
