These guideline amounts are a starting point and your dog may need more food depending upon age, activity, and temperament. In order to reach an optimal body condition, you may need to adjust food intake. This chart represents the total recommended volume of food per day. You should divide the total recommended volume by the number of times you feed your dog per day to get the actual portion size per feeding.
