Lol he use to eat less on Acana! It would take him a day 1/2 to eat 1/4 of a cup!! Now on canine Caviar he eats 1/4 in a day!

Zeus must burn a lot of energy! My guys are 8 and 9+ pounds and eat 3/4 cup of kibble a day and get less than 1/2 teaspoon of non-fat yogurt.

Another important consideration in determining quantity of food is the calories/fat grams per day. I feed a Fromm food that is 380 calories per cup. If I fed Canine Caviar, which is a much denser/richer food, they guys would get much less.

Zeus doesn't eat kibble (can't have it) so it probably makes a difference too! He does go on about 2 walks a day though.
