Any Q

How much should a senior dog eat? For senior pets, you should start by feeding about 2% of their body weight, and adjust to suit their needs and activity. A 50lbs senior dog of moderate activity level would be eating roughly one pound of food per day.


How often should I feed my senior dog?

Seniors. As your dog gets older (generally 8+), their dietary requirements will change a bit. Just as for adults, we recommend the two-meal-a-day schedule - ideally one meal in the morning and one in the evening.

How much wet food should a senior dog eat per day?

Feeding 3 oz Cans of Wet Dog Food Give your dog one 3 oz can per 3 - 3½ pounds of body weight daily, divided into two or more meals. Adjust this amount as needed to help maintain your dog's ideal body condition.
