For adult dogs weighing over 100 pounds, add approximately ⅓ cup of food for every additional 10 pounds. Pregnant or nursing adult dogs should be fed on a free-choice basis. Adjust the daily amount as needed to maintain an ideal body condition. This feeding guide provides an initial recommendation for daily food quantity. We advise maintaining your dog in optimal body condition and avoiding excessive weight gain. The required food amount may vary based on age, activity level, and the inclusion of other food or treats. Therefore, collaborate with your veterinarian to determine an appropriate weight for your dog and make any necessary feeding adjustments.
Ensure that fresh water is available to your pet at all times.
