Your dog's age, size, build, activity level, and metabolism tells how much he eats. Like people, dogs' needed amounts of food are unique from each other. Active dogs will most likely need more food than less active ones. The food's quality is also a factor— better-quality foods can nourish the dog better in minimal amounts.
To maintain good shape, give a measured meal two times a day. This method works better than leaving the food available all day. To determine if your pet’s overweight, use the hands-on and eye test which is described as follows:
●Look down at your dog; see if a "waist" is visible.
●Put your hands on your dog's back, placing your thumbs along his spine and spreading the other fingers downward. See if you can feel the ribs without pressing too hard and seeing the ribs.
●If you don't see the "waist" and feel the ribs, it's best to cut down on food and level up the exercise.
