All of mine eat twice a day. Morning is 8:30A-ish, dinner is 5P-ish.

P (almost 2 years old, I haven't weighed him but I think he's about 20lbs) is on Verus, the only one eating it because it has grains, and he has big old grainy poops which I hate because Auggie wants to eat them, but he finally finally for the first time in his life gained weight on it without getting the craps all over my house!!
He eats 1.33 (repeating of course) cups a day.
On TOTW the most Payton could eat without getting sick was heaping 2/3rd cups a day.

The rest are on TOTW bison:
Auggie (7 years old, 15lbs) eats 1/2 cup a day.
Georgie (almost 2, 12lbs) eats 1/2 cup a day.
Pepper (5 years old, haven't weighed her recently either but I'm guessing 18lbs) eats 2/3 cup a day.


Everybody needs to get on a scale, especially Pepper and Payton, but my good scale has been lost somewhere. I should just ask for a vet scale for my birthday...

Both of mine are on Orijen adult, and both get a scoop from a 1/3 cup twice a day. Meg's (8 years/36 lbs) is a bit of a scant scoop, Gusto's (2 years/ 26 lbs) a bit rounded.

I'm so glad to see that other dogs get as little food as Rowan! I regularly see dogs at work that are half his size and get way more than he does, and they're not even fat. I thought he just had the crappiest metabolism ever, lol.

Rowan (6 y/o, 40 lbs) gets 1 1/2 cups of food once a day
Riff (2 y/o, 48ish lbs) gets 3 cups of food, also once a day

They both eat Taste of the Wild, the fish formula.

Frodo (7yo, 29.5#) 2/3 cup per day OR 6oz of raw
Siri (5mo, 9.5#) 2/3 cup per day OR 6 oz raw

It cracks me up that they eat the same amount of food per day :rofl1:
Siri could stand to gain a bit of weight IMO, but if I feed her more right now she just poops more. And it's not like she is emaciated, so I'm not too worried about it.

Casper is eating grain free 4Health now, but we rotate with Nutrisource grain free Lamb, Holstic Select Anchovies, as they don't bother his allergies
Ronon and Rocky have been eating Annamaet GF Lean
Mira- eats whatever the rescue provides which the last bag was merrick whole earth farms
Pongo NOW Senior- does the best on this food over anything else we have tried.

Chloe (6 years, 45 pounds) eats 1 heaping cup of TOTW Wetlands a day.

She was eating 1 cup of 4Health Salmon/Potato when she was fat, but now that my sister's puppy is around we've had to bump her back to a higher calorie food and give her a bit more, as she and him play pretty much nonstop all day long.

Cynder (7 years old, 30 pounds) eats 1 cup of Diamond Naturals Chicken and Rice a day. May bump it up to 1 1/3 cup if we start walking like I want to.

Gracie (4.5 years old, 10 pounds) eats 2/3-3/4 cup of California Naturals Venison/Potato formula a day.

Cooper (3 years old, 6 pounds) eats 1/4-1/3 cup of Diamond Naturals Chicken and Rice a day.

All get limited to no treats.

Logan gets about 4-5 cups of Victor GF Salmon
Gavroche gets about 1.5 cups of Victor GF Salmon.

Logan seems to be getting very bored with food, though. I used to rotate, but because Logan has a bit of a sensitive stomach, they've been stuck on one formulas for several months. So I got a medium bag of 4Healt Whitefish/Potato and Logan ate that very well until the last couple days. So now I got a bag of 4Health Turkey and Potato, and he eats that well. But I suspect after a few weeks he'll stop wanting that to. Basically, I need to go back to rotating, or my dog will never gain/maintain his weight.

Gavroche will eat anything.

Dance (6 years old, 29lbs) - 8oz of raw per day.

Journey (7 months old, 39lbs) - I don't always measure, but roughly 12oz of raw per day plus usually a lot of treats (training) and often a bone or a PB Kong. So I don't really know haha. But she looks and feels good.

Ripley (4 years old, 81lbs) - 2 1/4 cups of Orijen 6 Fish per day, or 24oz of raw per day.

Keira (5 years old, 58lbs) - Just under 2 cups of Orijen 6 Fish per day, or 16oz of raw per day.

The Dobermans usually eat Orijen 6 Fish nowadays as with their skin problem they're supposed to eat a lot of fish as it's supposed to help, but sometimes I feed them raw instead. And prior to being told to feed them fish by the dermatologist (which has definitely helped), they'd been on raw. Dance and Journ eat raw like 99% of the time but if I've forgotten to thaw something, then they get the Dobes' kibble or canned (whatever I buy - Fromm, Ziwipeak, Instinct, Go, etc.) or dehydrated (NRG, Ziwipeak)... basically, whatever I feel like giving them.

Kiba (8.5yo, 15lbs) gets 1 cup/day
Stryder (7yo, 24lbs) gets 2 cup/day
Lincoln (4yo, 15lbs) gets 1 cup/day
Charlie (2yo, 32 lbs) gets 3 cup/day

I will feed them a bit more or less depending on the day. Charlie can eat all I give her and not gain, while the others just look at food and put on the pounds!! They get Earthborn grain free and we switch around flavored as well as using those with grains.

Henry (6 y.o, 32 lbs, somewhat active) eats between 1.5-1.75 cups a day of Earthborn, the coastal catch variety. I split it between 2 meals.

I keep him lean but he would eat until he popped.
