Like I said before, if he loses a few ounces, I tend to give him a little more kibble the next week, but I've never had to give him below this amount. I think he probably has a naturally slow metabolism, and there is huge variation in individual metabolism, but he seems satisfied with the amount of food he's getting. When I babysit for another dog, Joey's up most the day, and is much more active, so I increase the food a little on account of this.

Thanks - I think I am feeding them too much
