The rule
Feed 2% of body weight per day when feeding exclusively. Split it in half — ½ in the morning, ½ at night.
Reference: a 50 lb dog needs 1 lb of food per day — that's ¼ loaf AM and ¼ loaf PM.
Here's the plan
Your dog needs about
Per day
1.00 lbs
≈ 16.0 oz of fresh food
Morning
8.0 oz
≈ ¼ loaf
Evening
8.0 oz
≈ ¼ loaf
Per week
3.5 loaves
Loaf @ 2 lb each
Slice each loaf into quarters and you've got ready-to-serve portions. Adjust up or down 10% over two weeks based on body condition — you should feel ribs easily under a thin fat layer.
