After reading that Bruiser is 4.5 lbs, I ran to look at my dog food bag again to see if I was starving my babies. I feed Elliot 1/2 c. a day (she is 4 lbs.) and Duncan (he is 11 lbs.) 2/3 c. a day. But no, according to the bag, that is what they are supposed to be eating. Neither one is skinny, in fact, I am starting to think Duncan is getting a little too much weight on him after looking at that chart someone suggested.
I am surprised at how different the amounts of dog food you feed a dog is, according to the dog food you buy. |
I used the dog food calculator. I think it depends on what brand of food. WC has 396 cal/cup. It's grain free, so I guess the assumption is because it's just power that he's getting, he needs more for calorie intake. I don't know. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. I posted pictures. What do you think?
