    How much food? *Poll*

    How much dog food do you feed your dog a day? I hope this works as a poll! If not, I guess you could just reply.

    one cup! Wow! Major gets 2 and a half! I guess the food isn't probably as good, meaning he needs more, but...wow!

    Well, my boys are done growing. Kai used to get a lot more but now he's done growing and is on a bit of a diet.

    They each get two cups a day, everyday. One in the morning, one at night, and of course a few treats inbetween.

    They're both at the perfect weight, neither fat nor too thin, so it works for us.

    I think Major is at a good size, he doesn't seem to be too fat or thin either. He gets one cup at 9:00, 1/2 at 3:00, and one more at 9:00 again.

    Wow! My dogs must eat a lot then.

    The girls get 4 cups in the morning and 4 cups in the evening. I couldn't tell you how much each of them eat because they eat out of the same bowl at the same time. Sometimes I think Katie might eat more than Tori because Tori will once in awhile want more and I will put another cup in and then only Tori will eat that. They are both growing pups and very active.

    2 cups in the morning, 2 cups at around 6-7.
    With treats, and bones in between.

    Nala would eat a whole dang bag if we let her!

    Shouldn't this be in Dog General?

    Emily gets 3/4 of a cup per day. 1/4 in the morning and 1/2 in the evening.

    Clipse gets 1 cup per day. 1/2 in the morning and 1/2 in the evening.

    one cup! Wow! Major gets 2 and a half! I guess the food isn't probably as good, meaning he needs more, but...wow!
    You have to remember that Major is a growing pup and will be bigger than Ashley's shelties when he's done growing. So of course he will be eating more food than them.


    *Thanks Ashley*

    Nebo gets 2 cups per day, one in the morning, one at night. However he almost NEVER eats all of that....usually he eats maybe 1 cup per day. He's at a good weight though, so that's ok with me. Melissa goes through SO much more dog food than I do just with Lady and they are about the same size.

    My mom feeds Reggie and Sydney, I'm not sure how much she gives them. They both definitely eat more than Nebo does though.

    2 cups a day for the huskies. A half cup more for the malamutes. They are fed once a day late in the evening.

    During the winter, they get quite a bit more food, especially if they've been working.

    My dogs are all small, min- pin, Pomeranian, and Chihuahua. They each get a biscuit in the morning and 1/2 cup food around 6 pm.

    Yeah, it should be in Dog General. I thought that I was there and didn't realize until after
