I hear ya. I use it as a guideline for the most part, too. I actually feed Freckles on the high end and sometimes more than the recommended and Dudley gets a little less...But, I'm assuming (and you know what they say about assuming ) that if Iams says feed 1 1/2 cups and Royal Canin says to feed 1 1/2 to 2, that even if I didn't feed exactly the recommended, I'd probably feed the same amount of Iams that I would RC, even if it was a little more or less than what was recommended. Does that make sense? I know what I'm trying to say! It's a lot to consider, that's for sure!
