| Am I feeding Lola enough? So Lola is 7 years old now and we've always been feeding her 1 can per day, but looking at the feeding directions every albs should be 1 can. She is 10lbs, are we underfeeding her? She doesn't seem to be hungry afterwards and we free feed wet dog food. |

| Is it enough? Hi, The directions on the canned food is mostly a good guideline for us to follow. If your little one has been doing good on it eating one can per day for 7 years and as you say does not act hungry and she does not appear to be skinny then I would say you are feeding her well. The guidelines you were given for testing whether she is underweight or overweight should help you make that decision too. Hope that helps you.
