I don't pay much attention to the suggested servings and find myself eyeballing my dogs and adjusting food up or down depending on what I see. There is a big difference in my individual dogs and how much kibble they receive. Another vote here for the fecal. Betty (Waldron) Mathena http://www.littlerivercanine.com
