The recommended feeding amount is per animal per day. The feeding amounts stated are based on a dog’s adult weight. In growing dogs, an optimum growth rate should be achieved through a moderate energy intake. If your dog is too big and too heavy for its age, it is advisable to reduce the amount of food. An adequate supply of nutrients is ensured even with smaller portions. Make sure your pet has fresh water at all times. The amount of food should be reduced, for example if snacks are also provided.
