Hi Do all food manufacturers over estimate the daily intake?? Hollie is now on 100% of her new food Simpsons 80/20 and we have worked out that she should be on 90g 3xday but thought we would give her 80g 3x day to counteract this?????? She doesn't seem hungry (well no more than normal!!) Thanks again Esther
Re: Food question Use the packet as a starting guide but from then on go purely on your dog's body condition. You want to easily feel ribs but not see them, and when you look from the side the tummy should be higher than the chest. Just monitor and adjust up and down as you need. Don't go on how hungry your dog is - most Labradors would eat until they exploded
