How much.....

[Scarlett_O']

I thought this might be a fun post....I havent seen it here yet!!

How much do you feed each of your dogs, how old are they, what breed and how much do their weigh(or their projected weight if still growing)??


We weighed Brody and Dixi last night(thank you kitchen scale) so I now know how much they weigh, well kinda for Brody...he was so petrified from being up on the scale its hard to say EXACTLY!

Ok, so I will start out!:)

Rhett: 1.5 pounds per day, will be 1 on the 14th, Border Collie. He was 48lbs at 10 months old and I KNOW he has widened since then....should hit the 55 mark once fully matured, has looked and felt great since being started on raw at this weight in late May.

Leo: 1 pound per day, will be 5 in May, Border Collie. He is perfect at 47lbs, lost the extra 4 pounds he had put on the first 4 months on raw by having 1.5lbs/day and is now holding steady and looking/feeling great!

Keeva: 1.5 pounds per day, 12 weeks old. Border Collie. She should be somewhere between 45-55 pounds, decently large boned and I check her "feel" every day to see if she needs to be cut back, right now she is holding steady!

Dixi: 10 ounces per day, will be 4 in the fall, Mini Doxie. She measured in at 8.5 pounds both times...looks GREAT, has that perfect little hour glass shape that I love....ALWAYS active!LOL

And last, but not least "poor Brody": 5-6 ounces per day, turned 2 this past December, Pug/x. He measured 19 the first time and then 14 the next and 16 the third time...so somewhere in there!!LOL He is looking great on 5-6, 5 if I know he wont get much exercise(he wont move if put out side with anyone when it is raining) 6 if it is nice out, or we are home all day and he will be running around most day!!

Oh and I cant forget the kitties....they share a full pound between them, Ducki(Turkish Van/x) weighs about 8-9 pounds and Pidgin(Ragdoll/x) about 10-11, they both have gotten a little stomach since it is winter...but some extra lasor tag and itll go away!


So how about yours???


I figured this might be kinda fun for the newbies to see how much different each dog is from the next....if you look at Dixi she is only about 2/3 the weight of Brody, yet gets close to double of what he gets...and they both look GREAT!!

(I would post pictures...but the Collies you would never see it under their fluff and Brody and Dixi are impossible to get decent body shots of!LOL)

Jersey is about 45 pounds, 7 years old and eats 11 ounces of raw a day (the other two dogs are still on kibble)
Two ferrets are 5 and 9 years old, 2 pounds a piece and they eat 5-7 ounces a day between them (depends on the meal)
My cat is somewhere over 14 years old, 10 pounds and eats 6 ounces a day

[xellil]

I have a "poor brody" too - only his name is Rebel

100 pounds (aiming for 90)
1 pound of food per day
8 years old
Doberman

Snorkels
9.9 pounds
4 oz of food per day
14 years old
dachshund

Snorkies doesn't have a great figure like your Dixi - she has lumps and bumps and sags like alot of us old ladies and would LOVE to get that 10 oz of food that Dixi gets!

[Thunder409]

Thunder gets fed about about 1.1 pounds of food. Some days a little more and some days a little less. She is 45 pounds. She is 1 year 10 months. And she is a German Shepherd mix

Tessie, 10 months old, Italian greyhound.. she's just at 10lb. She eats 1lb to 1.2lb a day and I *think* has mostly stopped growing.. though she did shoot up a bit between 7-10 months! Crazy metabolism!

Bishop, 1.5 years old, Sheltie.. he weighs around 18lb and is at 1/2lb a day.. he honestly keeps his weight no matter what I feed him.. LOL.

Willow, 10 years old, Basset.. she is 67.7lb according to the vets.. and needs to lose 10 at least. She will be fed 1/2lb.

MALIA

12 years old

38 lbs.

Corgi Mix

8 1/2 oz per day to maintain her girlish figger

BUBBA

4 years old

22 pounds - we let him weigh this much because of the barrel chest from not being able to breathe before we got him. otherwise, he'd be top heavy.

Pug

under 6 oz per day to maintain HIS girlish figger.

George
9y/o Boston Terrier mix
12.75lbs (ideal would be about 13.5lbs)
4.4oz per day

Corona
4y/o Chihuahua
3.7lbs
1.4oz per day

[Noodlesmadison]

Noodles, Shih Tzu, is around 13 pounds (she should be 10-11, right now she's one shape = sausage). She eats approx 3 oz a day but I will be changing that soon so she can lose at least one pound.

[Mondo]

Toby, shih tzu, 11 years old. 21 pounds. 200 grams per day. (7 ounces)
Tuffy, tibetan spaniel, 12 years old. 17 pounds. 200 grams per day. (7 ounces)

Toby can stand to lose a pound, and is a bottomless pit. Tuffy is just right, and self regulates.

[frogdog]

Yogi - French Bulldog
Age- 21 months
Weight - 29.5 lbs (prob needs to drop 1/2 to 1 lb)
Food - 9.2 oz per day
