How much do you feed a day?

I'm just curious how much everybody else feeds a day!

Luna's maintenance seems to be 1 1/2 cups a day.

Totally depends on how calorically dense the food is and percentage of protein to carbs. Some kibble I feed a total of 2 cups per day; some 2 1/2 cups per day. Very occasionally if there has been more treats like some scrambled egg or bits of meat, then I'll go less than the 2 cups per day.

Roxy eats 4 cups per day of 30/20, plus treats. She has a fast metabolism.

Here's one for you. Oban and Jet are from the same breeder, same food since weaning. Oban weighs 32% more that Jet did at both their optimum weights but gets 50% more of the same food. Oban is intact, Jet was spayed at 10 months. Oban is a high energy dog who needs help with control. Jet had just as much energy but was not as foolish in her expenditure of energy.

Oban - 74 lbs. Three cups a day of food.
Jet - 56 lbs. Two cups a day.

The food is Eukanuba Adult Maintenance but it has changed up a bit over 20 years. I fed/feed both a bit more of it in winter when we are more active. It's 25% Protein, 16% Fat, 404 kcal/cup.

I'm feeding Annamaet at the moment, Manitok or Salcha. They're both about 420 cal/cup, 30/16 protein/fat. Both dogs neutered/spayed.

Chase- 87 pounds. ~2 1/4 cups per day
Lark- 67 pounds. a scant 2 cups per day

They each usually get a small dehydrated sweet potato chip a day, a few Zuke's or tiny Milk Bone treats, a bite of apple/banana/blueberries/cheese/cooked meat/egg- not all those but probably a bite or 2 of one of those per day. I don't usually put any toppers on their dry food.

Dodger is raw fed and gets 16oz 2 times a day. so 32oz per day. He also gets 1/2 banana per day just because if you crack open a banana he hears it from a mile away and comes running, then sits expectedly awaiting his piece. Who can say no to that? He also gets a cookie(grain free dog biscuit) when we leave for work.

Mardi, at 11, gets a little over 1 cup a day with green beans and fruit for a filler. Her activity level is quite limited. Found that Fromm Whitefish has really helped keep the pounds off.

Archie gets 3 cups a day, an active 6 year old. He's keeping his trim figure after getting a little weight back on. He came to us too skinny.

[Lainie]

Jessie gets 8 - 10 oz. raw food per day. She is 12 & weights about 60 lbs.

[Sue-Ram]

Ram gets 1 3/4 cups per day plus green beans and blueberries, and a bit of yogurt before bed.

Rio gets 1/2lb raw + 2/3cup kibble twice a day. Plus lots of treats during training. Banana this is true for him as well. I can't even hear it when it opens but he sure as heck can.
