I'm getting a 5mo old Boston Terrier (15lbs) and the chart shows to feed 1 to 1.25 cups per day. Does anybody know how much 1 cup of this weighs?

We have two 14 month old Boston Terriers (siblings). The girl weighs 16 lbs and the boy has finally topped out at 27 lbs. I feed the girl 3/4 of a cup of this Wellness Core dry food twice a day and I feed the boy about 1 cup twice a day. They maintain their weight without losing or gaining on this amount of food. Good luck with your Boston.......they are the very best little companions. We lost our 13 year old Boston about 6 months ago to cancer and lost our 10 year old male 4 months ago to a heart attack. We miss them so much.

Seems like a lot. I have a 10 lb min-pin/Chihuahua mix and she gets 1/3 cup total split over two meals. She really loves this food so I worry that she'll end up putting on weight if I feed her more. As another person mentioned, just keep a close watch on the weight to see if they're getting bigger.

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.

I dont know the exact cups, but I can tell you my dog eats about 2ish cups a day (sometimes more some times less) and 1 bag lasted us a little over a month.

I'm not accurate, but I got over 375 cups for my dog. Lasted about 5 months for me.

The manufacturer recommends one teaspoon full per day for each 20 pounds that the dog weighs--for example, 2 teaspoons for a 40 pound dog or 2-1/2 teaspoons for a 50 pounder. It comes in different size bottles, base order on size of dog.

No. It just says recommended feeding 2-4 per day but nothing about weight. My pups are 9lbs and 60lbs. I give them one each, broken in half inside a Kong with a little bit of peanut butter before I leave the house. Sometimes I'll do that before bed too but usually I give them Pet Naturals of Vermont Calming before bed because my Lab used to have nightmares. Same thing basically; for calming, but he sleeps through the night with the Pet Naturals one. So I do Chill Out in the day and Pet Naturals at night. If you go that route, I found it cheaper to buy the Pet Naturals for med-lg dogs and give the little one half and the big one a full one instead of buying the ones for small dogs too.

I have to 80-90 lb Labrador Retrievers. I give them 2 cups a day (plus some snacks). Sometimes I give them a little more -- but only if we walk about 3 miles. Based on my quick estimate, you feed proportionally less than I do. Since you have a puppy, you might want to add a little. However, just do the weight test: if you can feel the ribs, you're ok. If you can SEE the ribs -- you are not feeding enough. If you cannot feel the ribs, your dog is overweight.

From the Wellness website http://www.wellnesspetfood.com/product-details.aspx?pet=dog&pid;=53#feeding-guidelines(LBS) CUPS/DAY46-65 2 - 2 ½66-85 2 ½ - 3If I did the math right, a 30 lb (480 oz) bag of food with a daily serving of 2.5 cups (20 oz) would last approximately 24 servings. That would be about a months worth of food. They also have a senior formula that might be more appropriate for his age as well.

for puppies. Most dog food bags say right on the back. How many cups a day, you should feed your puppy, according to the puppies weight and age in months,,,,,,,, however, with Merrick's the protein is so high and due to the high quality of the food. Most of the nutrients will get absorbed in to the dog, rather than being extracted and still not processed as food though the dogs digestive system, and will just be wasted as stool,,,, so in other words, you can feed the dog a little less then they recommend,,,,, I have an eight-year-old German Shepherd,,, she is not very active, and she eats about 3 to 4 cups a day,,, and a cup is 8 ounces,,,,, I hope this helps.

I feed this to an 8 lb Yorkie. I mix up 2 cups of the HK Preference, 1 cup of plain instant mashed potato, 1 tbs HK Perfect Form and 1 tbs Spirulina and add enough hot water to create the desired consistency. My Yorkie eats this along with baked Tilapia and Hill's Prescription ID Gastro. She gets about 1/4 cup of the HK Preference mix twice a day. At that rate it lasts me about 10 to 14 days. This is a great food and my little girl loves it. Hope it works well for your dog too!

I see that someone contacted the company for the information on number of calories - I would only add that they are easily snapped in half if you want. The package recommendation is 1 a day for dogs up to 30 #'s but I give my 22 pounders a half of one and not every day.

Based on weight for dogs 51-95 Lbs - 3 scoops per day, it comes with it...very good blend of natural herbs to boost immune system. I keep my dog on it year around due to recurrent skin infections, now are less and less...
