A survey just for fun : What food , how much & how many x per day do you feed ? My 3 dogs eat Fromm Grain Free. Oscar 1/3 cup + 1/8 cup green beans 2 x per day... Kaiah 1/3 cup + 1/8 cup green beans 2 x per day... Angus 1 1/2 cups + 1/8 cup green beans 2 x per day ... |
Peanut: Canine Caviar 'Open Sky" 1/8 cup in the morning- 1/8 cup in the evening |
Gracie gets 2 defrosted Stella & Chewy's raw patties a day. She also gets a couple of Carnivore Crunch treats a day. When I am cutting up veggies or fruit she will get a few pieces of them. |
Zoë gets a quarter cup of homemade at 7 am and a quarter cup of homade at 5 pm. Free feed Fromm grain free kibble. |
Toki gets a little less than 1/4 cup of Fromm twice a day (I mix her breakfast with a small amount of various canned or freeze-dried raw foods). We recently just got her under the 9 pound mark (she lost a little over a pound on the Wellness Core RF! woohoo!) and hopefully when we get the okay from the vet to increase her activity level, we can up her food (she loves her Fromm kibbles so much :) ). Over the course of this weight loss journey, I've been curious about how much everyone else was feeding their dogs to maintain a healthy weight (obviously it's going to vary based on many factors) so thanks for starting this thread! |
yeah , i thought it would be interesting ... |
I feed my dogs Horizon Legacy. I also free feed, but I only put the food down certain times of the day. |
Joel-Blue Buffalo-1/2 cup a day Rosco-Iams(I know, not great but he's been on it since he was a puppy)5-6 cups a day They both get fruits and vegetables through out the day and Rosco will get an apple off the table when he wants one.lol And they both get some kind of meat once in a while:) There favorite meal is when I put chicken broth in there dry food with chopped veggies and some chicken:D |

Harry has one 'main meal' a day, at late-lunch time, usually chicken breast, rice or sweet potato, green beans, carrots, sweetcorn and peas, plus fruits and a multivitamin/multimineral. He free-feeds on Royal Canin - funny enough he usually only eats in the afternoon and evening :confused: :) Sally + Harry x |
I free feed Yoshi and Miss Priss Blue Buffalo...it has worked well with them and neither has a weight issue. |
thx guys, it is so interesting to see all the differnet foods and feeding regimines.... |
I feed mine a new food called Puppy Source and I mix it with a little ground chicken and veggies. They eat about 1 half cup twice a day little piggies they are lol. Neither is over weight Laddy is 4.8lbs and Kyra 2.8lbs. |

Nutrisource Grain-free Seafood select - for both Mia & Geno. We free feed but Geno tends to only eat when I am with him which is typically morning and evening during the week. Mia is my little piggy and eats whenever. |

cedric n lola have bil jac small breed and wellness chicken canned food just enough mixed in..probably about 1/2 cup. keylo has bil jac small breed puppy and puppy wellness canned food again just enough to mix it up. they get really bored and have veggies as snacks. i tried raw feeding after cedric turned one but they got really bored and didnt eat it anymore after a couple of weeks. |
Interesting to see all the different answers! 2x per day P-Nut gets boiled chicken over 1/2 cup* dry food, which is Halo Spot's Stew for toy and small breeds. He doesn't eat all of the dry food, which is then left out for a free feed extravaganza during the day and evening. Once in a while he gets a spoonful of low fat Greek yogurt and snacks include veggies/fruits, such as carrots and apples. *he's a teapot, 10lbs, so I'm going by the instructions on the bag for that weight. |
i have a 1 and a half year old Yorkie boy (12lbs) and a 7 month pomeranian girl (5.5lbs). they both eat Fromm Duck and sweet potato. i free feed 1/4 cup at a time in their two eating spots. total of probably a cup to a cup and a 1/4 total food down each day. they both pretty much eat the same amount. the pom likes to snack her foods throughout the day and my yorkie (who was sooooooooooooooo soooo picky before i got the pom) eats at different times all the time. he gulps down his food in one sitting two times a day. |
Nutro Lamb and Rice formula. 1/3 a cup twice a day. Typically around 6:30am and 5pm. |
Toby eats 1/8 cup of Fromm Gold for puppys twice a day. Paisely, Angel, and Colby get 1/4 cup split 3 ways 3 times a day. There weights are not on the dog food bag, so I have always just guessed how much to feed them. They all get the Fromm Gold though. |
we feed jasmin twice a day, at 10am and 6pm. She gets 1/3 cup of royal canin for yorkie puppy. I hope this is a good type of food for her. She seems to be doing well. This is what her previous owner has been feeding her. She is not a picky eater which is great. |
Riley eats 1/4 cup of Natural Balance LID and some boiled chicken mixed in twice a day, he's my big boy at 10 lbs. Ruby also gets NB LID, but only 1/8 cup with boiled chicken mixed in, also twice a day. She's 3.5 lbs. Both pups get treats throughout the day, a bite of cheese, freeze dried chicken, etc. Tonight we had BLTs for dinner so they each got a bite of bacon. |
Right now I am feeding Canine Caviar Wilderness. Chase gets about 1/4 cup 2 times a day. Calvin gets about 1/8 cup 2 times a day. They get Grandma Lucy's mixed in in the morning, and a cube of wet food mixed in in the evening, and they eat at 6:30am and 6:30pm (on weekends we sleep in and they eat later in the am). They get cocotherapy chips for a bedtime snack, sometimes a cookie as a snack, and cheerios for treats. |
Crimson gets 1/8 cup 3x days. Royal Canin Puppy Plus the occasion kibble Of her brothers hills prescription diet j/d but we try to avoid it :) |
Hal eats Royal Canin 10w and older food.. and i free feed him bc sometimes, our visitor dog comes and gobbles up all his food! |
Harley eats candidae all life stages Nd gets 1/4 cup in the am, and if he doesn't eat it all, I pick it up around noon and give him the rest at night time, if he does eat it all I give hi another 1/4 cup at nightandhe usually eats half of it. He is almost 8 months and is 5 pounds |
Lexi gets 1 cube of Weruva canned (I open the can then freeze the rest in an ice cube tray) mixed with some natures variety kibble. About 1/4 cup total in the morning. Topped with fish oil, powder for her teeth and probiotics. Sometimes I give her a bit of egg mixed in. or a bit of extra lean ground beef. At night she gets 1/4 cup of Real Meat Pet Food. She stay right around 5 lbs. |
