If your dog is 20-50 lbs

[Grab]

It's a poodle thing.
It took forever to get Matrix to eat 2 cups, and even now he still doesn't always finish.

Brooks didn't get this memo. He eats all the things


To answer the question: Goose is around 44 lbs. She gets 1.5 cups. Less if she has eaten toddler leftovers. She eats this amount no matter what we feed and she maintains her weight.

Brooks is a babydog, so he's currently eating growing puppy portions, so that's probably not helpful, lol.

Rider's between 40-45 and eats about 1.75 cups/day of Nutrisource/Earthborn Holistics/Acana (whatever rotation we are on).

Lucy eats about 2.25 cups of 4Health. She's probably right around 38-42 pounds.

Our crew is kind of at a medium exercise rate. Nothing too hard core, and I don't worry too much about keeping anyone but Harlow in tip top sports shape.

 

[Shakou]

Char weighs 30 and Ma'ii weighs 40, and they both eat a 1 1/2 cups of Blue Buffalo senior food.

 

[JustaLilBitaLuck]

Jack is 25 lbs, and usually gets 1/8 cup of kibble with 1 oz of raw in the morning, and 1/8 cup of kibble with a scoop of canned food in the evening. Most days he also gets a small Kong stuffed with various things. We rotate brands a lot. He's fairly low activity.

I've done completely raw with him before and he got about 6ish ounces a day?

 

[CaliTerp07]

Lucy is 25 lbs and eats 3/4 cup of TOTW pacific stream

She gets a healthy amount of cheese too.

 

[BlueMerle]

Jasper is 52 pounds. He gets 2 cups a day on quiet days. He gets 3 to 5 cups a day when we are really working (as in 4 hour high intense sports a day).

He has problems with most dog foods so right now I am rotating him through these foods:
Professional Lamb
Victor Grain free Joint Health
Victor ALS Lamb
Native Level 3 (Even with 4 hours a day he only needs 3 to 3.5 cups of this)
Native level 1 (I am feeding this right now becasue we are taking a break from training because of health issues. He eats 2 cups a day.)

Sophie is 29 pounds. She gets 1 cup of TOTW a day. Or 3/4 cup of Orijen. She gets 2.5 cups of TOTW when we are working a lot, or 2 cups orijen.

 

[Saeleofu]

Gavroche is 52 pounds and eats just under 2 cups a day of Victor grain-free salmon formula. Sometimes more, sometimes less, dependingon where his body condition is at.

 

[Red.Apricot]

Elsie weighs 36lbs and eats 4.5-5 cups of food a day.

Zoey is 40lbs and eats 3 cups a day.

They both eat Canidae pure-land.

 

[Moth]

Watson is around 24 lbs and eats about a cup of Ancana Grasslands a day.

Menchi is around 35 lbs and eats around a cup and a quarter to a cup and a half per day of the same food.

 

[stafinois]

Both Grant & Stan weigh 45lbs. Grant is elderly and eats 1.5-2 cups and day. Stan is a spam and eats 3-4 cups per day.

 

[Southpaw]

Juno is 50 pounds and eats 3 cups a day regardless of brand. Right now she is on Go but we've done Fromm, Merrick, Acana, Canine Caviar, Nutrisca, Natures Logic....

Happy is 40lbs and eats 1.5 cups of Fromm senior, but you know, she's old. And still in the process of losing weight.

 

[Hillside]

Saga is 53 pounds and pretty consistently eats between 1.75-2 cups a day, no matter what brand she is eating, though lately it has been one of the Merrick varieties. She also, on average, skips a meal or two per week. She maintains her weight despite the skipped meals. She is also a complete lazy ass.

Nico is 52 pounds, or at least he was the last time I weighed him. He gets two cups of Nutrisource grain free a day. He gets a little bit more sometimes on super high energy/activity days. When he was on Natural Balance, he was eating 3 cups a day normally and 4 on high activity days.

I feel like I'm starving my dogs.

Meg is 36/38 lbs (probably on the heavier end of that right now) and gets a scant 2/3 cups of Orijen adult a day.

Gusto is perfect at 26 lbs, and eats a slightly rounded 2/3 cups of Orijen adult a day.

I wish I could feed that little lol. Juno is already on the lean side and can't afford to lose a pound - she drops weight like nobody's business if she doesn't get her 3 cups. Expensive.

 

[Michiyo-Fir]

Truffles is 22 lbs, eats 3/4 cup of Orijen a day.

 

[Upendi&Mina]

Cara is basically 30 pounds and eats 2 cups of Pro Plan sensitive skin and stomach a day. Adele is right around 50 pounds and is currently eating 4 cups a day of pro plan sport 26/16 formula because she needs to gain a little. Normally she would get 3 cups but she's a fairly easy keeper.

 

[Paviche]

Rowan is ~39 lbs at his ideal and gets 1.5-2 cups/day depending on the food. 2 cups was too much on the TOTW but was perfect for Natire's Variety Instinct, for example. We'll see how he does on the Go! He is pretty lazy and doesn't do a lot to burn it off.

Riff is right around 50 lbs and gets 2.5 cups/day. He's an energizer bunny and never stops bouncing and wiggling and prancing around.

 

[Lizmo]

Blaze is 43lbs and eats 1 cup 2 times a day.

 

[DenoLo]

Lucy is 38 pounds and eats between 1.5-2 cups of Earthborn per day.

 

[stardogs]

My crew eats the following per day:
Ziva (24lbs): scant 1 cup
Kestrel (40lbs): 1.5 cups
Aeri (43lbs): 2.5-3 cups
Snipe (33lbs): 1.5 cups

All are on the same kibble and tend to need the same amounts regardless of brand/variety.
