I agree about the dog food makers, the problem is primarily lots of variables with different dogs make it only a guidline. No one can account for the differences in metabolisim, amount of exercise, medicine being taken, just habits of eating, amount of treats in a day, etc. The amount on the package is the starting point you try first if you don't know where to start, and then you adjust it if you need to.
No one amount can be perfect for an exact weight for all dogs, it's impossible. Nothing can be done about that.
