How Much Do You Feed Your Dog?

Auggie-

What Food?: TOTW - Wetlands right now, want to get back on the bison next time, just need to stick with the 32% protein formulas until Payton is done growing.
Kcal/cup: 375 kcal/cup
How Much Per Day?: 1/2 cup/day or a little less. I use a 1/4 cup scoop and go skimpy on it with Auggie.
Weight of Dog: 15-16 pounds.
Age of Dog: 6 years old.
Activity: Medium-high depending on the time of the year, right now I'd say medium because we are limited to running like a crazy in the house and fetch games in the house or up and down the yard.

Payton
What Food?: Same as Aug.
Kcal/cup: 375 kcal/cup
How Much Per Day?: 1 cup/day or a little more, sometimes I heap the 1/4 cup scooper for him.
Weight of Dog: I think he was 13 pounds when we weighed him last week. he doesn't weigh as much as Auggie even though he's taller... still skinny mini.
Age of Dog: oh god uhhhhh 8 months! yeah 8.
Activity: High... even though he is limited to running like a crazy in the house he seriously runs like a crazy. This dog does not walk anywhere, he runs constantly. I can't wait to CHANNEL that energy. =P


ETA: Whoops forgot about treats. Both dogs are working on lots right now so they are getting a fair amount of treats every day too. But I buy low calorie treats and I always cut them at least in half so I don't think it really amounts to a heck of a lot. Sometimes it's just a matter of working for the kibbles too.

What Food?: Taste of the Wild High Prarie dry and Wellness stews (wet food)
Kcal/cup: 370 kcal/cup for dry, between 300-370 kcal/can for the wet depending on the formula
How Much Per Day?: 1/2 cup dry (about, he ate the scoop a little bit so he probably gets a bit less) and like four spoonfuls of wet per day
Weight of Dog: 15lbs (guessing)
Age of Dog: 1yr old
Activity: Moderate I guess. Gets a walk and playing, chases cats, would like a lot more but my parents are lazy, lazy people.

His current weight is quite good, he could loose another pound or two and still be a good weight, but he is in no way overweight or chubby, I can feel everything I want to be able to feel, though I wouldn't want him to gain anything.
He gets very, very few treats because my parents don't train him. When I'm home and I do some training with him I'll cut back on his meals a bit.

Taste of the Wild - bison formula

1/4 cup twice a day for Jose`

just a tad under 1/4 cup for Chulita twice daily

They get pea-sized treats here and there and sometimes a little egg or something extra on their food, which then is cut back just a tad.

Jose` is about 10 - 12 lbs

Chulita runs about 5-5.5 lbs

They are not extremely active by any means. I'd say medium. They take walks most every day and run around the house and play a little.

Jose` is almost 10 years old (first of March)

Chulita is 11, will be 12 in June

My 30 pound dog eats as much as my boss's 6 pound chi who maintains a good weight lol

I find it crazy when we have overweight, 80+ pound labs at work that eat less than Juno, who is a lean 50 pounds. I wish I could sustain my dog on less food lol.

Presidents Choice Nutrition First Senior/Weight Loss formula
She is free fed, so there is always food available. She eats about 3/4-1 cup/day.
385kcal/cup--currently she is on a different formula, so I'm. Not sure what the normal food has for Kcal/cup
She weighs 48lbs and is 15 years old.
She gets 3 1-hour long walks a day, and then plays in the house

Corgis are notorious for being able to sustain on waaaaaaaay less than most other dogs their size. They were the poor farmers dog so they either adapted to less or they starved!

Elsie is about 40lbs, 14 months old, moderately active, and eats 4.5-5 cups of food, plus two eggs, plus about a cup of treats a day (so, like 2,400kcal/day).

Zobby is about 22lbs, 5 years old, not particularly active, and eats about 1/2-3/4 cup of food a day.

What Food?: Acana Grain Free rotation - Grasslands, Ranchlands, Wild Prairie and Pacifica.
Kcal/cup: between 425-460 kcal/cup, depending on formula
How Much Per Day?: approx. 2 cups
Weight of Dog: 45lbs
Age of Dog: 3 years old
Activity: Quite active - at least an hour of true exercise a day, if not more, plus walks, training, mindwork etc.

Finn's exercise levels tone down a bit in the winter, so I usually drop him to 1 3/4 cups in the winter to keep him trim. On the same hand, if we're having a particularly active season I bump him up to as much as 2.5 cups/day. I play it by ear, and by his shape. I don't really change measurements of his food between formulations, though - they're all in a similar enough range that I don't notice a difference.

It does seem like a lot! That's why I was curious to compare. Last year, I would have said 3/4 cup would be wayyy too much but when he still seems hungry, he's the kind of dog who REALLY is hungry. He maintains fairly well and won't just eat to eat. If I just poured 3/4 cup into a bowl, he would not eat it all at once. So I don't wanna starve him if he's truly hungry, hence why he's been getting 3/4 cup.... but I will say we're only on our 2nd bag of Acana, he was eating other lower cal/lower fat foods from late July-early November on the 3/4 cup amount so I just hope he doesn't start gaining weight.

It seems most yorkies half his size eat between 1/2 cup - 3/4 cup per day so I dunno, just seems like I'd be starving him on 1/2 cup without high cal/high fat treats and canned foods that he used to be getting.

Only canned food he gets now is a spoonful in the AM of Weruva.

Chloe is the same way. Cynder is on the same diet, same activity level, and is half her size...but Chloe eats half as much as she does. LOL
