I actually go by the size of his bowl... about a half cup of kibble, and 3 ounces of canned or diced up roll (Dick VanPatten's) 2x a day. Smokey eats his fill and walks away. He also gets snack.. a piece of cheese or some sweet potato. Seems to be okay.. he is 7 months and looks/carries like he now weighs 7ish lbs. 6.6 three weeks ago at the vet.
I've had dogs who ate until they would burst, but not him. Smokey DINES and stops when he is full... wish I could say the same about me :>(
Every dog is different, so again, use your instincts and good judgement to come up with what is appropriate for your dog.
