The amount of food required daily varies according to factors such as growth, breed, maintenance, exercise, pregnancy, environment, and disease. Some animals require more food while others require less. A young, playful, and active dog would normally require more food than an old, mature, less active dog of the same breed. If your puppy, young adult, or older dog is healthy, in good condition with good skin and coat, active, alert, and not to fat or not to thin but:
- Leaves some of it's food, then your are most likely feeding too much.
- Eats all of it's food either slowly or quickly, but is still to thin, then you need to give more food.
- Eats all of its food but looks fat, is slow to move, lazy, then maybe you are feeding to much.
- Eats all of its food, is steadily growing and shows a normal weight gain, then you can assume you are feeding the correct amount.
