Re: How much food to feed?

I'm not familiar with that brand.

Is it high protein? You need high protein if you dog is VERY active.

As a rule, the better the food (quality), the less you need to feed. Dixie only get's a cup of dry per day (Nutro), and one can (normal sized). That said, she's not a highly active dog. This quantity leaves us room for treats, cheese for pills, etc.

Now that we are exercising more I might add to her food however, she's not a big eater. She usually leaves food in her bowl from one day to another - I assume from this she's getting her fill.
