Can I get some input on amounts people feed?
I have a 9 mon. miniature, neutered male. At the moment, he gets a.m. & p.m feedings, each a small handful of Orijen kibble and about 100g of Naturediet wet food. Add in training treats, jerky chews and PB or cheese in his Kong for the day, and his midnight snack (tiny handful of kibble & some olive oil, to avoid occasional morning bile vomits), it seems like a LOT for a small dog. He's at 7 kg now, but ribs/hips/spine clearly defined (I'd say visible, but they aren't
due to hair). Healthy, bright, happy in himself.
He gets lots of exercise ... 40 min ball/frisbee walk in the morning, dog walker runs him midday with other dogs for 30-40 minutes, and an hour ball/frisbee walk in the evening. Weekends, we try to go for a hike through the woods.
I've found the guidance by the food companies pretty rubbish, so would be interested in knowing if the above sounds like too much or not enough.
