I don't think CC looks overweight. That amount may be right for your particular food. The amount you feed depends on how many calories are in your particular food. Here's a calculator, there are many others out there and this one isn't the best, but it's the one I had bookmarked.

Abby gets about 2.5 cups a day. I usually don't listen to the label, because honestly, some of them say more then they should have to make $$$, so we have to keep buying more bags. Besides, only once I listened to a label and it said 5 cups :shock: Abby had dairhea all over her crate and it was disgusting. Never again will I listen to those labels.

Mags used to eat about 4-5 cups a day on Science Diet Lamb and Rice- but now that she is on DVP Duck and Potatoe she gets about 2.5 or 3 cups a day - and most anyone who has ever seen her will tell you how LEAN and ATHLETIC she looks!!! I agree with what most everyone has said - it depends on the quality of food and how much exercise she is getting - and seeing their last rib usually means they are at a good weight. Mags is a tiny Pit - only 40lbs now at 2.5 years old --- so you can't go on weight necessarily.

I feed them Precise Sensi-care. Most of the time, the four of them each eat two cups a day. It is so strange the way their systems regulate their food. Holly, is 12 and 45 lbs and she is a hyper active Springer Spaniel. Clara, is 1 yr 9 months and weighs 43 lbs, young and active. Sasha and Rusty both are 12 and weigh between 90 to 100 lbs. They are not as active as the other two. I have four dishes and put two cups in each one. They also get 3 doggy bones each per day. Clara will eat all of hers and the other three will usually empty their bowls but not always. But they all seem satisfied with the 2 cups each.

Chyna (64lbs) gets 2 cups of California Natural Lamb & Rice per day.

Ozy (40lbs) gets 1.5 cups of the same in the puppy formula. We just cut him back from 2 cups/day because he was really just picking at his food. Now he cleans his bowl. We'll probably switch him over to the adult food some time this summer (he'll be a year old in July).
