How Much Should You Feed Your Dog?
Calculate daily food portions by weight, age, activity level, and food type. Stop guessing and avoid overfeeding.
भारत में
Dry food: 2-3% body weight/day। 20 kg dog: 400-600g in 2 meals। Pedigree: ₹300-500/kg। Royal Canin: ₹500-800/kg। Drools: ₹200-350/kg (good value)। Home food: roti + rice + chicken + vegetables — many Indians feed home-cooked।
Home vs Commercial
Home-cooked: cheaper, fresh, but nutrition balance difficult। Commercial: balanced, convenient। Best: mix of both। NEVER: onion, garlic, grapes, chocolate — toxic for dogs।
The Association for Pet Obesity Prevention found that 59% of dogs in the US are overweight or obese. The leading cause is overfeeding — most owners feed based on the bag guidelines (which are too high) and add treats without reducing meal portions.
