How much do you feed your dog(s)

[k9krazee]

I'm bored And I thought that this would be interesting!

So how much do you feed your dog(s), are you trying to get them/do they need to: gain, maintain or lose weight. And probably what you feed because some foods you need more of and others less, etc.

------
Shadow - 1.5 cups - sometimes a bit less (2x a day for a total of 3 cups) - Maintain

Micki - Generous .5 cup (2x a day) -- Needs to lose weight

Mini - Just over .5 cup (2x a day) - Maintain

Jack - Heaping 1 cup (2x a day) - Maintain

Kyra - As much as she'll eat -- Should gain!
-----
And we feed Nutro Nat. Choice - Lamb and rice



Your turn

Kiara: 2-3 cups a day (More depending on how active she is that day. Since she and I are lazy today she gets fed less.) - maintain

Nala: 2 1/2 - 3 cups a day. - maintain

Simba: 1 1/2 - 2 cups a day. - lose about 5 lbs.

They get fed 2x's a day which equal the amount given previously.
Their portions consist of:
3/4ths TimberWolf Organics Ocean Blue
&
1/4th Nutro Natural Choice Lamb & Rice Small Bites

On occassion I switch out the Nutro with a sample from the Holistic/Organic dog food store.

Molli: Iams- also as much as she'll eat (on average 1 1/4 C)- It'd be nice for her to gain a pound, she's 9 inches tall and only 5 pounds

Sam: Iams puppy food- 1/2 cups a day- He's at a pretty good weight

-They are both fed 2xs a day

Autumn gets a 1.5 a day when I feed her, and about 2 from my mother when I'm gone. I wish she'd lose a few pounds but it won't happen while I'm away at school.

Jamie and Charlie each get 2 cups of Nutro NC a day; one in the morning and one at night.

Double-Oh gets 1/4 cup of Natural Balance in the morning and 1/4 at night!

[Pembroke_Corgi]

Marta gets 1 cup per day, she needs to lose about 1-2 pounds, so I should cut it slightly...

Adele gets 2 cups per day.

Vallis gets almost 1.5 cups per day, he needs to gain a few pounds.

They all eat Canidae.

Edit: June 13th, 2006 (Things have changed since the thread started and I just felt like updating).

Tango is fed Nutro Ultra Adult at the moment, I'd like to switch her to a higher quality food but for now this is atleast better than the Natural Choice for her. The others all eat Nutro Natural Choice Chicken meal, Rice, and Oatmeal formula.

Winston (81lbs): 1 1/4 cups, twice daily. - lose a tiny bit

Morgan (62lbs): 2 1/2 cups, twice daily. - maintain

Tango (35.5lbs): 1 - 1.5 cup/s, twice daily. People say she should eat more, but she won't eat any more than 1.5 cups most days and she's at a perfect weight. - maintain

Tia (7lbs): 1/4 to 1/2 a cup, twice daily. Usually she doesn't even eat all of that, she's not a big eater when it comes to anything. - maintain
-----------

Forgot to add earlier, they also either get cheese, yogurt, egg, meat etc. added to their dinner every night.

Tia: 1/4 to 1/2 a cup, twice daily. Usually she doesn't even eat all of that, she's not a big eater when it comes to anything.

Speaking of... I can't even remember the last time we saw some pictures of her.... It's time! We need a Winston & Tia picture thread.

My guys Lacy and Maggy get 2 cups a day and Molly eats about 4-5 cups a day.

[Flatcoatluver]

T.j and Zoey both get 2 cups a day. They both need to maintain their weight.

Fenway gets a bowl of soft food morning and night and his bowl is always filled with dry food - he can eat that when he wants. Fenway get fed a lot, but he's very skinny. People always tell me he's skinny and ask if I feed him.

He is very active and I think he has a high matabolism.

Camen gets 5 cups a day, And he is on Authority Lamb and Rice.
