How much do I feed my dog?

Every dog has an optimum body weight at which it is healthiest and performs best. To determine how much food your dog requires daily, it is important to know that weight. Consult literature on breed standards or your Veterinarian for help. If your dog is overweight base your feeding on the optimum weight. 

The following formula will assist you in calculating approximately how much of this food to feed your dog daily.

Your dog's weight in lbs: X (0.4) = daily amount of food in oz.
or
Your dog's weight in kg: X (25) = daily amount of food in grams
