kibble question - does your dog eat the recommended daily amount?

does you dog - pup eat the amount they say on the bag?

cara is doing well and growing at a good rate but barely eats half the daily recommended amount

No... mine don't eat what it says at all ..I've always fed by eye but mine don't eat anything like what it says on the bag ..but then I do feed a 'working dog food' ( autarky ) and mine don't work

Mine all eat the recommended amount...no probs...2 meals a day, they wolf it down.
Maybe she's just not food oriented.
The thing is, it goes by weight of the dog doesn't it? So you could, I guess, go for the top possible weight she may be...or the bottom...it's not that precise a thing I guess is it???
Maybe she doesn't like that brand of kiBBle (Sorry just can't get Rowan Atkinson saying it out of my head!!!!!)
Axxxxx

I don't measure it, they have as much as they want. Funnily enough they are never greedy.

I never measure, just go by what looks right in their dish and by how my dogs look. They all look good so something is right!!!

i dont measure but know for a fact that Bruno does not take the recommended daily amount and although he would have you believe that he is starving ALL the time he clearly isnt !!

Sometimes when you look at the recommended amounts they are ridiculous and probably explains why so many dogs are overweight - in a way its a way for the manufacturers to make sure you are always having to buy it !!!

so no would be my answer go with what suits ur dog

I don't measure either, but I put down what I think she should be eating, and she leaves a lot of it. Actually I might start measuring as I could be way out.
