[NAGDU] How Much Food?

[Tracy Carcione]

I agree with Julie and Aleeha.  You feel your dog's weight, and adjust
accordingly.
A dog may need differing amounts of food throughout his life, depending on
work and metabolism.  For instance, I'm currently cutting my old dog's food
back a bit, since his metabolism is slower than it was in his youth, and
he's also not getting as much exercise. Consequently, he's getting a bit
chunky, I notice during grooming.
I also adjusted Krokus's food a bit when we got home from class, because I
changed his food, and because our work regime is different than what he did
in training.
Right now, he is eating about 2-1/4 cups a day, because he's a bit thin.
When he's at what I feel is the right weight, I'll probably cut back to 2
cups, and see how that goes.

Hey, everyone.  I apologize, but here is another food question.  I am
curious.  Becky is 2 years 10 months.  She is approximately 68 pounds.  I
work her, I would say, moderately everyday since I am out of school.  When I
am in school, I work her very hard two days out of the week.  Per the
school, now I feed her 1 1/4 cups of food in the morning and 1 cup in the
evening.  Out of curiousity, how much do you feed your dogs?  Thanks for the
info.
Elise and Becky
