Every individual dog has a different metabolism. I have some medium sized dogs that need about 3 to 3 1/2 cups a day to stay at a good maintenance weight, and I have some dogs in the same size range that need only 1 1/2 to 2 cups a day to stay looking right. Same thing with my terriers. I have one patterdale that gets 1/2 cup a day, and stays at a good solid weight, and I have another that needs 2 cups a day to stay right. It can be highly variable. You gotta go by the animal standing in front of you, not a chart on a bag. My mom-in-law has an Am Staff that is about 25lbs over weight. She only gets 1 cup of kibble per day, no shyt. You just have to adjust according to the individual dog. Oh, and when I say cup, I mean a legit cup, as I feed using a measuring cup as a scooper.
