How much Embark should I feed my 65lb dog and is it okay to mix it with kibble?

Full Question:
I wanted to know, on your website it says for up to 70lbs 2 3/4 dry cups while the bag of embark says up to 4 1/2 cups. We have an American bulldog that is 6 months old and weights 65 lbs. What do you suggest for the amount. If we adjust to 4 1/2 cups for his weight, is it fine or is that too much?

We also have a 10-yr-old English Bulldog. He likes it much better with dry kibble mixed in it. Is it okay to just keep mixing his food this way?

I feed my dogs according to how they look and act, not according to a label. I would use the label directions as a guideline and go from there. (It sounds like you are already doing that).

Personally, I would be using 50% HK Embark and 50% raw meat or meaty bones (like raw chicken leg quarters or thighs). It’s actually better for your dogs and will cut down the expense of the Embark.

I would do the same for your older dog, I would mix the Embark with meat instead of kibble. I don’t have a very high opinion of kibble.
