Don't follow the guidelines to a tee here on food amounts. They tend to suggest to feed WAAAAY too much food. You really need to measure the food out based on how your dog looks and feels. It all depends on energy level, activity level, can you feel his ribs etc...don't just follow the guidelines.
I too applaud you for neutering your dog and being responsible, but please, neutering is not the cure all for behavior, you'll still need to train, train and train some more.
Hudson too just got neutered 1 week and 4 days ago, his energy is just about the same, I am feeding him a bit less because we've been limiting his exercise, but I don't worry about his metabolism, just keep an eye on his weight and make sure you measure out his food with a meaduring device. Also get him on a better food.
