Frequently Asked Questions

How much should I feed my dog per day?
Daily food amount depends on your dog's weight, age, activity level, and the calorie density of the food. A typical 50-lb adult dog needs about 1,000-1,200 calories per day, or roughly 2.5-3 cups of standard dry food.
How do I know if I'm feeding my dog the right amount?
Monitor your dog's body condition: you should be able to feel (but not see) their ribs, and they should have a visible waist when viewed from above. Adjust portions up or down by 10% as needed and weigh regularly.
