Puppies need almost twice as many calories as adults. Plus - EVERY kibble and dog is different. To get a starting point look at the kCals/cup on the food and use one of the calorie calculators online with your dog's weight/age/activity level and it will tell you how many calories they need. Then adjust up or down accordingly!
