I did have hazel on Nutro, but then read many bad things about them including how they were bought out by the mars company and now they are very bad...so i switched to blue buffalo large breed puppy today. giving her half and half because Idont have enough of her old food to start off 70/30. anywho, giving her half and half, and I think with this better wholesome food ill give her 2 cup s for breakfast (around 9-10AM) then 2 cups around 5PMish, then one more cup around 11PM (i always take her for a long walk exercise around 9-10 to wear her out for the night, and l;et her go to sleep around midnight-1AM because then shes delfy wore out, and ready to sleep.

BTW also include ur dog's breed, gender,age and weight.

Pandora is 7 months old 110lbs - female

I feed her 4 cups of Nutram Large breed dog food at 7 am. 3 cups of home made dog food (60% beef, 20% chicken, carrots, rice and a touch of garlic) at 11:30am and at 4:30pm (dinner feeding has her vitamins added) at 8:30 pm she get oatmeal, yougurt and bananas about 3 cups.

I only feed her the dry dog food so that she doesn't become a fussy eater in case we ever need to get her babysat or boarded!

Currently the kids are all on Taste of the Wild, Pacific Stream Formula with Smoked Salmon.

I have gone through many, many kinds of dry food. My preference would be to have them on raw, but that's not quite possible at the moment.

The Pacific Stream Formula seems to really get rid of the dry flakies my girl is subject to, so I've decided to stick with it for a little bit. I also usually mix in something else with their food - salmon, bits of meat, yogurt, etc.

Kell, male, 3 yo, 85 lb pit bull - 2 cups in morning, 1 cup in evening
Draki, male, 2 yo, 95 lb Cane Corso - 3 cups in morning, 2 cups in evening
Thistle, female, 3 yo, 100 lb Cane Corso - 3 cups in morning, 2 cups in evening

All three of mine are on EVO RM. The mastiff, Kharma, is a Fila Brasileiro, so the amounts may be a bit skewed as she's from working lines and they don't need nearly as much as most other dogs, but, at 150 pounds, she eats about 3.5 cups per day, adjusted up or down according to how many peanut butter sandwiches she talks my mother out at her house or leftovers she gets.

It really depends on the weight of the dog and age. They eat so much when they are puppies. Who am I kidding mine eat a ton now at 3 and 2!

I feed both Capone (155 lbs) and Miss Marley (130 lbs) Nature's Variety Prairie food. They both eat 4 cups of food a day ( 1 1/3 cups a meal, 3 times a day). But if they are having an all day puppy play date and are burning more calories because of that, I will increase it that day to 5 cups of food.

Sunshine is a two year old English Mastiff female, 180lbs. She eats 3 cups a day of Eagle Pack Holistic. We also mix in plain yogurt, cheese, an egg, some sliced turkey or some leftovers, just enough to give her a taste.
