The amount of dog food you should feed your big dog depends on their age, weight, lifestyle, and ideal body condition. You’ll want to use the guidelines on their dog food packaging as a starting point.
For example, if you’re feeding your canine pal PEDIGREE® Big Dogs Roasted Chicken, Rice & Vegetable Dog Food, we recommend the following feeding guidelines based on your dog’s weight:
- 50 to 70 lbs: 2¾ to 3⅔ cups per day
- 70 to 90 lbs: 3⅔ to 4⅓ cups per day
- 90 to 110 lbs: 4⅓ to 5 cups a day
- 110 to 130 lbs: 5 to 5¾ cups per day
- 130 to 150 lbs: 5¾ to 6½ cups per day
- 150 to 170 lbs: 6½ to 7 cups per day
- 170+ lbs: Add ⅓ cup for every 10 lbs over 170 lbs
Note: If your dog eats a combination of dry and wet food, replace ½ cup of dry food with one pouch of PEDIGREE® CHOICE CUTS™ In Gravy.
Keep in mind that the above is only a recommendation, as your individual dog’s requirements may differ. For a specific portion size for your dog, consult your veterinarian.
