How much food should you feed your dog? Purina has a helpful dog feeding chart so you can determine how much your dog should eat. Feeding your dog the right amount of food each day helps ensure he gets the nutrition he needs.
Choosing a Dog Dish
Your dog’s dish is among his most prized possessions. He identifies it with the dog food that he loves, and he looks to you every day to fill it up.
Go Bowling
Look for a bowl that will resist tipping over and is easy to clean. Separate bowls for food and water will help keep your dog's feeding area tidy. You may want to buy a smaller bowl when your dog is a puppy, and upgrade to larger ones as he grows and needs more food.
Feeding Tip
You may also want a standard 8 ounce measuring cup so that you can feed your dog the amount recommended on the package.
Your Dog’s Eating Habits
Above all, pay attention to what your dog needs. Take cues from his eating habits. If he is constantly tipping his dish over to get at his food, his bowl may be too small. If he has to move around to get at his food, it may be too big. Every dog is different, and every dog needs a dish.
