How much to feed

Adult dogs — % of body weight per day

Goal	Daily
Adult dog, healthy weight	2%
Adult dog, very active	2.8%
Needs to lose weight	1.5%
Needs to gain weight	3%
Adult cat	2%

Example: an 80 lb dog eats 1.6 – 2.4 lb a day.

Puppies — % of current body weight per day

Age	Daily
2 – 3 months	8 – 10%
4 – 5 months	6 – 8%
6 – 8 months	4 – 6%
9 – 12 months	3 – 4%
12 months +	2 – 2.5%

If the adult weight is genuinely known: feed 2 – 2.5% of expected adult weight instead.

Kittens — % of current body weight per day

Age	Daily
2 – 4 months	11.5%
5 – 8 months	8%
9 – 12 months	5%
12 months +	2%

Cats and kittens are small enough that grams are easier than pounds. A 10 lb adult cat eats about 0.2 lb a day — roughly 91 g.

Nursing mothers

Up to 2½ times her normal daily amount. Adjust to litter size and body condition.

⚠ Always

• This is a starting point, not a prescription
• Weigh the dog every few weeks and adjust
• Treats count toward the daily total
