Weight management in dogs really is very simple, use the chart below to calculate feeding rates with the following caveats:
If your pet will not eat a particular food, challenge yourself and wonder why we should have concern when a fat dog won’t eat more.
People say their dogs are starving when you cut back on their food, but again, challenge yourself: are they not hungry all the time already?
If as a large dog owner, you already know that most large dogs demise is precipitated by “going down in the hind legs and having to be carried outside” – – how can you continue to overfeed your dog when you know and can actually see that obesity is already limiting the dog, and aggravates and accelerates hind leg orthopedic issues.
For any feeding regimen with the attempt to regulate the weight of a pet, the kitchen measuring cup is the gold standard; not as the “scoop”
