Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I find calories per cup in my dog's food?
- Look for 'kcal/cup' or 'ME (metabolizable energy)' on the product bag, usually near the guaranteed analysis section. Most dry kibble averages 300–420 kcal/cup.
- How many meals a day should I feed my dog?
- Adult dogs do well on 2 meals per day. Puppies need 3 meals. Senior dogs often prefer smaller, more frequent meals. Split the daily amount according to your schedule.
- Should I adjust if my dog is gaining or losing weight?
- Yes — increase by 10% if losing weight, decrease by 10–15% if gaining. Always change amounts gradually and reassess body condition every 2–4 weeks.
