How much should your dog actually eat?

Daily portions tuned to weight, activity and life stage. Diet has more effect on anxiety and behavior than most owners realize.

Important Notes

  • These are guidelines, not rules. Adjust based on your dog's body condition, weight trends, and vet recommendations.
  • Treats count! Reduce meal portions by 10-20% if giving regular treats. Calming treats should be factored into daily calories.
  • Weight management: Overweight dogs have 2x higher anxiety risk. Monitor body condition and adjust portions accordingly.
  • Transition slowly: Change food amounts gradually over 7-10 days to avoid digestive upset, which can increase anxiety.
  • Individual variation: Metabolism varies by breed, age, and health status. Some dogs need 20% more or less than calculated amounts.
