I have a 70-lb chocolate lab. The vet gave me a measuring cup and said to give her one cup in the morning and one cup in the evening. So, she gets two cups per day.

My dog is almost 13 lbs and he gets 1/2-3/4 cup twice a day. He/we can be pretty active so 1/2 cup twice on slow days 3/4 cup twice on active days!

IT GOES BY WEIGHT. For my 80 lb lab, I use 3 scoops a day, 1 1/2 in the morning and the same at dinner. There are 88 scoops in a can. to 20 lbs - 1 scoop to 50 lbs - 2 to 95 lbs - 3 to 150 lbs - 4 Amazing stuff. The ingredients read like something we should probably all be taking!

My dog is 4.5 lbs, and I budget these treats into her diet. She gets one when I leave the house, or half a one if I leave the house more than once that day. So I would say one treat a day maximum for a tiny dog. She now has a prescription diet and cannot have ANY treat with protein in it, but these were her favorite treats.

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.

350 cal per can. When I got on it I was told to use 1.5 cans per feeding 4 times a day for a total of 2100 cal per day. I now blend all my food with a Vita-mix Blender

You will need at least one full bag of 30 lbs if not more. 15 lbs wont even last you 15 days. I feed my dog 4 cups of food a day too, and one 30 lb bag lasts me little under a month.

Not sure if this helps, but I use 1 1/3 cups a day for two small dogs. I reorder every 2 months and I am usually down to my last 4 or 5 days worth.

From their website: Medium 31-50 lb dog, would eat 1-2 cups per day (lasting 40-20 days). Highly active dog would eat 2-4 cups per day (lasting 20-10 days). The 10 lb box contains approximately 40 measured cups of the dry mixture. Remember you add water per instructions.

My guy gets a cup of food a day and I order around 1x a month ;-) The food is wonderful, it might take a little bit for your dog to eat it, but after he or she gets hungry enough it will be fine. Just think it's like us going from McDonald's to Vegan and takes time to get used to. ;-)

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.

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 guess you could, but what is your purpose? Is your current food only filler, or does it also offer a complete diet which might not be complemented by the Orijen? Each of my dogs only eats 1/2 c./day. If I had big dogs who ate a lot, I would probably choose something else too.

I have a 45 pound standard poodle with health issues that require a very low fat food. I feed 1 and 1/2 cups of hkp that I rehydrate and mix with 12 ounces of chicken breast and the enzymes he has to have. He gets this in several small meals over the course of the day. I tend to just keep a couple of boxes so I don't know exactly how long it lasts but it's 3 or 4 weeks.

The My dog - 35 lbs. - receives 1/2 tsp. daily with the evening meal. Please read the instructions on the jar for your dog's weight.

The feeding size can be adjusted to the size of the dog easily. My dog eats twice a day and his feedings total the daily recommended amount. Your dog may only need 1/4 cup twice a day at that weight. You can always check with your Vet.
