I had Tuck and Lulu into the Vet just to weigh them. Tucker's favorite Vet came out, gasped when she saw he weighed 24.2 lbs! She insists he should weigh 22-23, no more than 24.
So she told me to give him 1/4-1/3 cup 2 times a day.
She also suggested feeding Lulu 1/2 cup 2 times a day (lulu was maybe 4 months old.
Lulu's breeder happened to be at the house one day, thought Lulu was looking pretty scrawny, and asked how much I was feeding her. Well, I got a good talking to!
So Lulu is back to getting just under a cup 2 times a day until she is a year old.
Of course, she never eats everything in her dish so she's probably eating 1/2-3/4 cup 2 times a day.
The guilt of underfeeding her just killed me! She began growing but she still is thin in my opinion. Poor baby, stuck with a disastrous doggie Mom.
