A bowlful. However much they\u2019ll eat. We all have different ways of feeding our dog. But feeding the right amount can have a big impact on their health &nbsp;\u2013 keeping them at a healthy weight and reducing pressure on their joints to name just a couple. But how much food is the right amount?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-much-should-my-dog-eat\">How much should my dog eat?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Every dog\u2019s ideal portion is different. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lots of factors affect how much food your dog needs, including:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Breed<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Size<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Metabolism<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Activity level<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Age<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How often they eat<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Appetite<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Whether or not they\u2019re neutered<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Getting your dog\u2019s portion size right is all about balance. Big dogs need more food to fuel their larger frame, but their metabolism tends to be slower \u2013 so a dog five times as big as a Chihuahua doesn\u2019t necessarily need five times as much food. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With most foods for dogs, there\u2019s some trial and error involved. The packet usually gives a guideline amount, so start there. Then adjust this to account for any reasons your dog&#8217;s metabolism might be faster or slower than average \u2013 an online dog calorie calculator can help.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At tails.com, we tailor your dog&#8217;s feeding plan to their individual nutritional requirements &#8211; and we&#8217;ll send you a handy adjustable scoop so you can make sure you feed the right amount every time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/553A0908.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7648\" width=\"583\" height=\"388\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/553A0908.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/553A0908-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/553A0908-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 583px) 100vw, 583px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-often-should-i-feed-my-dog\">How often should I feed my dog?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most owners feed twice a day \u2013 this is a great routine for healthy dogs with a good appetite, who don\u2019t mind a long gap between meals. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Feeding twice a day supports effective blood glucose control, and helps keep your dog\u2019s energy levels stable. It helps make meals more enjoyable too \u2013 most owners are home with their dog at least twice a day, so breakfast and dinner don\u2019t have to be rushed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some dogs prefer to eat more often, and that\u2019s OK \u2013 i<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">t all comes down to your dog\u2019s energy levels and appetite, and what works best for you.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Whatever you decide, keep your dog\u2019s portion sizes in check by working out how much food your dog needs for the day, and splitting it between how many meals you\u2019re planning to serve.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-i-feed-my-dog-once-a-day\">Can I feed my dog once a day?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most dogs need food more often. But for those with a particularly small appetite, a single meal a day may be enough. Working dogs who are out all day may also prefer to have one rewarding meal in the evening, with treats throughout the day to keep their motivation up.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-s-free-feeding\">What&#8217;s free feeding?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Free or <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ad lib<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> feeding means putting enough food out for the whole day, and letting your dog graze when they like. This can be helpful if your dog needs to gain weight, because it makes sure there\u2019s always food available when they want to eat. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Junior dogs and underweight adolescents can benefit from free feeding too, as long as you weigh out the right amount of food at the start of the day. This keeps them from overeating, which can affect their digestion and growth.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Free feeding isn\u2019t suitable for all dogs. Give it a miss if your dog falls into one of these categories: <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><b>Dogs with a seemingly endless appetite<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> who will eat too much<\/span><\/li><li><b>Those with a poor appetite<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> who need a long gap between meals to feel hungry<\/span><\/li><li><b>Deep chested breeds<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> that may be prone to bloating<\/span><\/li><li><b>Overweight dogs <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">who need controlled portions for weight loss<\/span><\/li><li><b>Dogs with certain medical conditions <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">like diabetes<\/span><\/li><li><b>Those with digestion issues<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> made worse by eating too much, or too quickly<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/MixBowl_Paw.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7649\" width=\"427\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/MixBowl_Paw.png 800w, https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/MixBowl_Paw-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/MixBowl_Paw-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/MixBowl_Paw-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/MixBowl_Paw-120x120.png 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 427px) 100vw, 427px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-i-feed-my-dog-little-and-often\">Can I feed my dog little and often?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Feeding small meals four times a day can help dogs with a small appetite eat more. This means it\u2019s good for small or underweight dogs as it helps them stay, or get back to, a <a href=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/2019\/12\/12\/managing-your-dogs-weight-and-how-to-keep-it-under-control\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">healthy weight<\/a>. Appetite can wane as dogs age too, so many elderly dogs prefer eating this way. Little and often is also recommended if your dog is prone to low blood sugar, or is a working dog. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s important for active dogs rest after each meal so they don\u2019t bloat \u2013 something that can cause serious health complications. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-if-my-dog-is-still-hungry\">What if my dog is still hungry?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you\u2019re feeding the recommended amount and your dog is still giving you their \u2018feed me please\u2019 eyes, try to resist the urge to top up their bowl right away. Some dogs \u2013 for example, Pugs, Labradors, Beagles and Dachshunds \u2013 are renowned for wanting to eat all day. Switching them to a less energy dense, or higher-fibre food can help. So can feeding smaller meals more regularly. These are just some of the ideas we recommend for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/2015\/12\/08\/my-dog-always-seems-to-be-hungry-does-he-need-a-different-food-or-is-there-anything-you-can-suggest-to-help-him\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">easing your dog\u2019s hunger without overfeeding. <\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-i-feed-my-dog-at-different-times-each-day\">Can I feed my dog at different times each day?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Whichever routine you choose, try and stick to a regular schedule so your dog gets to know when food is coming.
