How much and how often should you feed a large dog?

Giant breed dogs usually need to consume more calories to maintain weight. But you don't want to overfeed at a single meal because this can increase the risk of GDV/bloat. For this reason, meals are spread out to two or three per day. Typically I do not recommend feeding more than 2.5–3 cups per feeding.

How much should my dog eat 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 a 60 pound dog eat?

Large Breeds If your dog weighs 60 pounds, you should feed them three cups per day. This increases with your dog's weight. If your dog is 70 pounds, 3 ½ cups is appropriate. If your dog's weight is 80 pounds, 3 ¾ cups is necessary.
