She gets a bigger biscuit after both of her meals, a very small piece of treat after she potties (except when she potties after her meals since she gets the bigger biscuit) & then usually some sort of bigger treat in the evening just before bed. I love how she looks and she greatly looks forward to her meals & treat times.

If there's anything I've learned about food it's that you have to do what's best for your dog. A feeding guide could tell you one thing, but it may be too much or too little for your dog. I've noticed in most cases that feeding charts tend to tell you to feed your dog too much food. It's kind of guess and check to figure out what works best for your dog.

I agree that MOST dog food companies tend to suggest more than your pup needs ('cause they want to sell dog food )...However, Primal is the only food I've fed, where the recommendations are less than what any of my three pups need...I guess my 3 are a little rowdy, and burn up more calories lol...My thoughts are they (Primal) really care about the pups, and tend to suggest less, for healthier leaner pups...Of course, they do make mention that this is just a guide, and to work w/the amounts for the best formula for your pup...I like that
