Hi,
I feed 1T per pound of weight--or per pound of desired weight. For example--I have two chi mixes that both are chubby gals--they need to be around 10# at target weight--I feed them each 9 T a day--3 at each feeding--and feed a balanced diet. When they reach their goal--will increase to 10T. My Yorkie is 7# and he gets 7 Tablespoons a day. They get mostly protein--then veggies--then fruit--and very few carbs. Hope that helps.
