How much food should I feed my dog chart?

It's easy to look past this. For example, if a chart says a 15-pound dog should have 1.5 cups of food, 1.5 needs to be divided by the number of meals you feed your dog. It's typically recommended that dogs be fed twice per day — so the ideal serving size, in this case, is ¾ cup of food per meal.

How much should I feed my dog per day?

If you're still at a loss, try PetMD's general rule of thumb for adult dogs: Toy Breeds (3-6 pounds): 1/3 cup to 1/2 cup per day. Small Breeds (10-20 pounds): 3/4 cup to 1 1/2 cups per day. Medium Breeds (30-50 pounds) 1 3/4 to 2 2/3 cups per day.
