| Who feeds ACANA Kibble.... and How Much? For those who feed ACANA Kibble...... how much does your furbaby weigh and how much kibble do you feed? I was doing primal raw in the mornings, and ACANA Kibble, at night but lately have been doing ACANA Kibble morning and night. |

| When I was feeding it, Jackson was getting 1/2 cup per day (16lbs) and mixed in about a spoonful of wet food each meal.

| Thanks! Riley was 9 pounds when he went for his annual exam. He was just 7.75lbs 2 months ago.... Vet said he should be more like 8 pounds. - It's been raining sooo much here the past month that we haven't been able to get in our loooong walks like we were doing either. I was feeding him primal raw in the mornings and the Acana Kibble at night. Right now I am feeding Acana Kibble morning and night. I have been doing about 1/8 cup with some green beans... I'm just hoping it is enough. He doesn't whine after so I am thinking he should be good to go.... =) |

| I feed Acana Chase is 14lbs and gets 1/4 cup in the am with Grandma Lucys (not much, about 2 spoons full) and 1/4 cup in the pm with an ice cube size of canned food. Calvin is 6lbs and gets 1/8 cup in the am with Grandma Lucys (about 1 spoon full) and 1/8 cup in the pm with an ice cube size of canned food. They get a couple treats throughout the day, mostly Gerber Puffs for potties, so not many calories there at all. Some nights they will also get a frozen Kong with either yogurt, Honest Kitchen, or Grandma Lucy's in it. They get a 2 mile walk every night that it's not raining or too cold, and their weights are perfect! |

Grasslands may be lower in calories than Ranchlands (isn't that what you are feeding?), so that may also account for the difference in Riley being satisfied.

| I feed Acana Wild Prairie. I feed 1/2 cup for dinner and in the morning he eats canned food. My Yorkie is a 10 pounder. Sometimes, if we exercise a little more than usual, I do give him a little more if he wants it. He doesn't wine but he'll go lick his empty bowl and I know he hasn't had enough.
