If they are showing signs of being underweight, then you can bump it up to 1 cup twice a day. If you are unsure if your dogs are at the appropriate weight, take them in to the vet and ask them.

Opheila It ain't over- till the fat- kitty sings     Barked: Tue Dec 18, '12 4:48pm PST  I'm also trying to factor in activity level. They each have an hour walk a day and even in their play together it's wild wrestling or tag through the yard...pibble zoomies are a sight to behold, their feet barely hit the ground...but they definitely get a good workout every day...that would equal more calories yes? my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Chance How You Doin'?     Barked: Tue Dec 18, '12 5:04pm PST  Feed the amount needed for them to have a healthy body condition and don't worry if a dog acts like its starving. If your dog's are at a healthy body condition, don't change a thing. A friend's dog can get into the cat food, eat a 10 lb. bag and cry for dinner a couple hours later. my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]

Ikan 976039     Barked: Fri Dec 21, '12 10:23am PST  My dogs are between 60-70 pounds. They get a cup to 1 1/2 cups twice a day. The younger ones get more then the older dog because he tends to get fat if i feed him to much. But mine are high active dogs and burn a lot of it off running in the back yard. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
