My 50 lb. dog eats 2.5 cups/day of his current food. Would he really need 5.5 cups/day of this food??

No, that can't be right. My 90 lb dog gets 2.5 cups per day of this food, has been for years, and is maintaining her ideal weight. We don't give a lot of treats or anything on top of that.

If youre asking how much to feed, i think it depends on your dogs.I have 2 poms weighing 7-8 lbs, feeding them 2x a day. One I feed 1/2 per serving (bc he's overweight) and the other 3/4 per serving (normal weight and very active). Yet they appear to be hungry, but these portions seem to maintain their weight in the long run.

Between my 3 dogs, I feed out 6.5 cups per day, and a large bag lasts me 2 weeks. So, something like 91 cups?

The answer depends on how much your feeding your pet. You can set up to three feedings and give 1/2 cup to 2 cups each feeding. I fill the feeder with a 9.3lbs bag of dog food. I set the feeder to give 1/2 cup three times a day. It lasts about 16days.

My Yorkipoo has been on Embark since he was 4 months old, he 10 months now. I do notice him eating better, than the dog food we were given when we got him. As far as less, I guess it depends on the dog. I would contact Honest Kicthen.com and ask them about there food. There very helpful, if you ask they will give you samples to try!

We got our 96 lb. Lab the large. She gets 2 cups of food in the morning and 1 1/2 cups in the evening. This works great for her. She was confused the first time I set it down for her but that was it. AND most importantly, it really did slow down her eating. She's still fast but not nearly as bad as she was. This was a great buy for our dog.....good luck.

I have been feeding it to my almost 10 year old pit bull for the past two years and she is in great health, but is still very active. The bag says 32% protein, 370 calories/cup. My understanding is that new research indicates that lower protein diets for older dogs is based on poor research (said it was bad for kidneys but that research was done on rats, not dogs). A diet around 30% protein is recommended for all dogs and higher protein (30% versus 18%) has shown to increase life expectancy.

I have 3 shih Tzu. I feed them one can in the morning and one in the evening. The smaller dog weighs about 12 pounds. He would eat on 2/3 of one can a day. He is not a big eater. All the dogs are healthy and love the food. Tender slices is their favorite.

I bought the 50 pound size, and a 35 pound of dog food fills it about half-full.

While individual dog's requirements may differ, we recommend feeding 4 trays per day per 10 pounds body weight. This variety should only be fed to adult dogs.

Yes, I feed my 2 dogs a 1/2 3.5 oz over dry food 2 xs a day. I have a 15 lb and 9 lb. the dry stays down if they get hungry but they never finish it. I go through one pack a day.

The website feeding guide has 1|2 to 3/4 cups a day for 5-7 pounds. Look at the dog food website. s. So you are in the middle of the range. If you want to go up a bit you can.

My dog is about 18lbs, and I feed him half a cup each time for twice a day, and this bag lasts me ~2 months.

We have packed enough food for a four to five day hike with our dog (~60lbs). I would say a good 8 cups of dog food would fit. However, I recommend buying dog food "tubes" which are dense and small packed dog food. The dog gets 1/2 a tube per day (we supplement with some dry dog food and treats). You can buy them at any dog food store. The pack will fit not just the food, but bones, snacks, and a collapsable dog food bowl.

I'm not sure but I have it dispensing about 1/8 of a cup 4 times per day and that is working just fine. I also have this plastic ball that has holes in in that i will put a tablespoon of dry food in it and he pushes it around with his nose and eats what comes out, this i do 2x per day and I also supplement his food with half a 3oz. can of food at dinner time. He does seem to be losing weight now or at least it seems like he has!
