Hi and welcome to the forum from Rocky and me.

Do you know how much Belle weighs? I usually go by the guideline amounts, for the weight of the dog, on the packaging of the food then just adjust accordingly.

hi from me and the boys

Hi and welcome, think a lot depends on the individual dog, our Enzo is inclined to put on weight but eats less than Enya who has no weight problems its just their metabolism I think.. I would suggest being careful that the wet food is not cereal based and reduce the dried a little.

Hello and welcome from me and the kids Advice as above , guidelines off the packet and adjust as neecessary

Welcome can't add anything new to what everyone's said.

hia from me and sasha

Hi & welcome!

I'd cut out the wet food & just feed dry. Then go by looks - if she looks a bit porky, cut it down & if she looks a bit thin, increase it!

hi and welcome from me and licks from troy

Hi and welcome from us and Suki. We usually feen based on looks. If she loks fat we feed less.

Hi & welcome to the forum ><

Hi and welcome from Kia and me

Hi and welcome.
I have been told to feed by looks too. You should clearly see the bottom rib and a suggestion of the next one...does this sound right? What does everyone think?
