How Much to Feed?
No two dogs are alike in their metabolic rates, age, or activity levels but do remember that a lean dog will be healthier in the long run. You can feed more or less of the diet in order to keep your dog at its optimum weight.
Feeding Directions...
Feed normal active dogs 2% of their body weight per day. For example, a 50 pound dog may do very well on one pound of food per day, a 100 pound dog, 2 pounds of food per day. A highly active dog may require 3% of their body weight per day. In the case of a 50 pound dog, they would then require about one and a half pounds of food per day, a 100 pound dog, 3 pounds per day.
