Hut Hut is 35-36 lbs. He eats...ya ready for this....about a 1/2 cup Fromm Large Breed Puppy per day. I think the container might have the remnants of some Wellness Core in it too. He also gets canned frozen into bones and hooves and a random assortment of 'stuff' from the store. Some chicken backs, necks of various creatures, soup bones (which don't have a whole lot of muscle on them, just something to chew on).

Picky dog is picky

Cricket is 33lbs. She eats 1.5 cups a day ad she is currently on natures variety instinct lamb though I'm mixing zignature in.

Bamm is 45 lbs and eats 1.5 cups a day. He is eating a mixture of the remaining natural balance I have and performatrin ultra grain free that I'm trying out.

Joey is around 45 lbs and eats 2.5 cups a day. He eats the same type of food as Bamm.

A 25lb bag seems to last Cricket about a month if not longer. The boys I purchase about 2 bags a month roughly.

Kimma is 18lbs, Jari is about that if not 19lbs, Bubbles is 23lbs, and Pen is 25lbs. They all get a total of a cup per day of Nature's Variety Instinct Chicken, except Kimma who gets the same amount but in the Venison Raw Boost. And Jari who gets a cup and a quarter. Right now I'm feeding the Now that was on sale a few weeks ago to everyone but Kimma, and feeding a bit less than a cup total. Except Jari who is getting that puppy food and is on about his same total amount. I adjust kibble amounts according to how much treats are given in a day for training and if they get chews or not. I'm fanatical about my guys' weight/body condition LOL. My vet loves it and uses me as an example to her vet techs every time we come in :p

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

Old lady Shadow (11 this year) gets about a cup total. She sits around 48lbs.

Copper (4) gets about a cup total, because she's a piggy thing and puts on weight super easily. She's probably sitting right around 52-53lbs right now.

Bloo (2.5) gets two cups total (plus random assorted goodies throughout the day), she's sitting at 37.5lbs as of a week ago. She's super duper active and athletic.

They all eat Wellness CORE. Bloo sometimes gets raw instead.

Murphy is about 45 lbs and gets 7 oz of raw a day. Any more than that and he gets super chubby. When we feed kibble (ToTW) he gets 2 cups a day.

Webster is around 22lbs and eats 0.5 lb of food per day
Kim is at the other extreme of your range, 47lbs, and eats 1.5 lbs per day.

They are both relatively easy keepers. At least, compared to the combustion furnace that is Mira.

Cynder is 30 pounds and eats a cup of Diamond Naturals Chicken and Rice a day. She's also lean.

Chloe is 50 pounds and eats a cup and a half of TOTW Wetlands a day. She's fat - her good weight is 45 pounds and she should probably only be eating a cup a day, but mom feeds her, so...

Rosey was 40ish lbs, and got just short of 2 cups a day, plus 114g of home cooked dinner.

She went for 3-4 hours of exercise minimum a day, including at least an hour of swimming and at least 1.5 hours of hiking.

In the winter when there was no swimming, it was probably closer to 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 cups of kibble.

Sir weighs 51lbs. I try to feed him at least 4 cups of food a day, sometimes with half a can of wet or scraps, etc. to keep his weight up. On a good day he'll eat 5, but sometimes he just doesn't want to eat.

Recon weighs about 42lbs now. He gets no more than 3 cups a day, sometimes only two on a quiet day.

For comparison, Frag is 90lbs and doesn't get more than 2.5 cups a day.

My boys all eat Earthborn Holistics most of the time.

Bella's about 30-35 lbs and eats two cups a day of Blue Buffalo.
