For Body weight Expected Adult - 14kg-25kg and age 3 - 5 months is 230–480grammes a day
So would you start off with 100g a meal 3 times a day?
Also I know this is a bit of a stupid question but what times are best to feed a dog if feeding 3 times a day?
We normally give him his first feed about 7.30-8.00am when shall we give his 2nd and 3rd
Just to say thanks for the advice so far guys

A springers absolute top weight should be 25kg even then your are talking a seriously large dog.
My dog is a retired sniffer dog - he has muscle on muscle after 9 years of non-stop daily working, he is a very big lad ... 18" neck, enormous scull and deep chest, just over 18" at withers and hes 21.4kilos.
You are supposed to increase their food to 300+ between 3 and 41/2mths id say, then reduce it back at 6mths to around 200-250g.
Remember if you feed them too much - theyll get the squits as they cant digest it so young, theyll have to be walked more as theyll have more energy and anything over 300g for a young spaniel at that age will just come out the other end and just be wasted.
As I say I havent really exceeded 220g and hes 19" high at 6 months weighing just under 15kilos
