It may say for medium dogs, but if that's for medium dogs, Charlie must be a large dog lol

If it was a "cheaper" crate, like under $40 it most likely is just sized smaller than the durrable ones. Besides the fabric ones are really only for travel, not something you want to use for training purposes thats for sure. A dog can destruct one of those in a heartbeat.



As far as food goes, it depends a lot on the individual dog. You will probably have to play with the amount a little bit, see what fits him the nest without him loosing or gaining a lot of weight.

Kaige eats a different kibble, but it is about the same quality wise. He eats a total of about 2 cups per day (1 cup in the am, 1 in the pm). I would guess that your dog should be eating anywhere from 1.5 to 3 cups per day. Feeding twice a day is a lot better for their metabolism.
