How much does she weigh? I am switching Loki from Natural Balance to Canidae. All foods have different calories and recommended feeding amounts. Also, I've been told that the recommended about (on the bag) isn't necessarily accurate but there to sell food.
Honestly, the only way to tell is to feel her ribs. You should be able to feel the bottom ribs. Also, dogs should have a "tuck up" If she is becoming overweight you can either reduce the amount of food or increase exercise.
Loki is a VERY athletic (skinny!) 8 pounds. I feed him less than 1/2 cup a day. He eats about 1/4 of it in the morning and the rest at night. He rarely eats an entire 1/2 cup. Not sure what that tells you because all dogs are different! Also, he gets Charlee Bear treats (they are tiny) and that's it. No biscuits or anything like that. |
