Feeding my 55lb pit lab mix: How much, how often, and healthy weight?

As young dogs vary in their activity level I adjust the amount depending on Coso. If he is ravenous at each meal you are not feeding enough. I gradually increase the amount at each feeding so he is hungry at meals and he just finishes the food. If he's starving I feed three meals daily, as he ages and slows down his growth he may not be as hungry then I feed twice daily. I recommend twice daily feeding for life and adjust the amount of food needed to keep him happy and at a normal weight. The feeding amounts on the bag are just guidelines. I prefer to adjust the amount on an individual basis. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Coso.

Drax is so handsome! I would feed him according to the instructions on his bag of food. Each brand of dog food has a differently daily allotment required, and this will be found on the bag. Take the daily allotment, and divide it into two equal portions for him to fed once in the morning and once in the evening. Best of luck.

The bag will tell you how much to feed him daily. Max should be fed three times a day, once in the morning, once at noon, and once in the evening. Take the daily recommend allotment of food on the bag and divide it into three equal portions.

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I recommend an adult mai ten every dog food fed twice a day. There is no need to add wet food. Do not feed table scraps or human foods. Do not feed grain free foods as those can cause heart disease. Royal Canin, Hills Scoence Doet and Ians are all good brands to feed.

Brands I like include Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. I would feed Gotham one of those. No, I wouldn't add cooked meats to his diet, he doesn't need them. You can give it to him as an occasional treat. Giving it too often will lead him to not each his dog food. I hope this helps!

Because Rosy is a puppy, she should be eating a puppy formulated food. Puppies need higher amounts of protein, calcium, and calories than adult dogs, and a puppy formulate food will give that to her. I recommend feeding her a high quality food such as Royal Canin, Hill's Science diet, Iams, or Purina ProPlan.

I would feeding him according to the instructions on the label (each food has a different daily allotment). Divide the daily recommendation into three equal portions to feed him three times a day (morning, noon, evening). Once he is six months old, he can be fed twice a day (morning and evening).
