2.5 cups per day is WAY too much! I am surprised you are not getting mushy or runny poo with that. I know 50lb dogs who are fed that per day.
Sounds like he just really likes the food and is more comfortable with you now! Some dogs can not self maintain and will eat until they throw up, lol. It sounds like scheduled feedings would be best.
Jackson is 16lbs and eats 3/4 cup of kibble per day, mixed with a dab of wet food. He's also very active for the most part.
I give him 1/4 cup of Fromm Duck for breakfast, mixed with a tad of Weruva wet food. Sometimes I'll give him 1/2 cup for dinner all in one meal, or sometimes I'll give him 1/4 in the afternoon and another 1/4 around 7pm. It just depends on his activity for the day. |
