Kelly Byrd Webboard User Reg: 07-28-2010 Posts: 2249 Loc: Tacoma, WA Offline	Geeze guys, you're making me jealous. When Koenig eats kibble (Orijen) he eats AT LEAST 6 cups a day to maintain his cross country runner-like figure. If we're not marker training that day, I'll up it by a cup or so. (Koenig is 80-85lbs, 27'' at the shoulder) Ya'll's dogs barley eat anything!

My 70 lb GSD mix only eats about 2 cups of Orijen a day and my little Mal girl eats about 1 1/2 cups, plus whatever food we use for tracking and training.

I guess I'm not to far off Zoey is 83 lbs last weighed we feed Blue wilderness and I add cooked chicken, beef or steak to the kibble every meal. So 1.5 cups kibble and 1 to 1.5 cups chicken twice a day close to 6 if figuring the added chicken.

Before Harley went to raw he was getting 6 cups of kibbles, Dexter only get 3 cups. On raw food Harley eat over 3 lb per day and Dexter about 2 lb. Lucifer!

(Koenig is 80-85lbs, 27'' at the shoulder) Ya'll's dogs barley eat anything! I'm with you Kelly! On kibble, 35# Kenzi ate 3 cups/day to maintain her (scrawny) weight. On THK and raw she eats 1 c/THK, 3/4 /# raw and 1/2-3/4 c of kibble( Orijen, used as training treats) Poor 30# Kipp is jealous. He dearly loves food but he only gets to eat about half of what Kenzi does. Otherwise he starts to put weight on. K-9 Knitter

Joe Waddington Webboard User Reg: 09-02-2009 Posts: 581 Loc: Ca Offline	Yeah different metabolisms how much exercise they get etc. Mara are you feeding raw and kibble in the same day? I thought I'd have convinced my GF to let us feed raw by now but nope. A guy in the area has to basset hounds there hughe ready to pop. I asked him how much/often do you feed them he said "once a day" Not enough exercise and don't feed them the hole bag, once a day right.

Clear fecals at least every 6 months. He gets A LOT of exercise, (the only way I can keep him sane/calm enough to live in my house) and he does have a crazy fast metabolism.
