How Much Food Should I Feed My Dog?

Average adult dogs should eat between 2-3% of their body weight daily.

Giant dogs will be on the lower % end and miniature dogs will be on the higher % end.

​

Dogs should eat 2-3 times per day. Divide daily amounts between number of feedings.

​

Other factors to consider:

​

If your dog is under weight, pregnant, lactating or intact, amounts may need to increase.

 

If your dog is a senior or over weight, amounts may need to decrease.

 

Amounts may need to be adjusted if your dog is extremely active or inactive.

​

These amounts are approximate. Adjust as needed based on changes to your dogs weight and energy level.

​

Introduce your dog to a new diet gradually. Incorporate a small amount at first, increasing the new food amount daily over a week. Decrease the old food amount proportionally. 

​

As always, please discuss any changes to your dogs diet with their veterinarian.

​

Always ensure your dog has plenty of fresh water.
