How much food should dogs eat in a day

Do you always have this kind of doubt when you first raise a pet dog? How much food should you feed your dog every time?
Is it full or not? Eat more and eat less is not good, what should I do? So the question is, how much should a dog eat in one meal? In fact, there is no unified standard, so it must be determined through careful observation of the owner. So in life, how should we determine whether a dog is full?

1. Touch method. The touched place is of course the dog's abdomen. Every time the dog finishes eating, he will touch its belly with his hands. The method of judgment is: if the dog has a full belly, it means that the diet is just right; if the dog's belly is a little shrunk, it means that the dog is not full yet; on the contrary, if the dog's abdomen is bloated, it means that the dog is eating too much. You can adjust the dog's diet reasonably according to the touch situation. 2. Look at defecation. The main thing is to check the dog's defecation situation. This is how the dog shovelers come from. First of all, under normal circumstances, it depends on whether the dog's defecation time is regular; secondly, it depends on the dog's feces. Dog's poop should be soft and hard enough to be picked up from the floor, and the color is mostly yellowish-brown (and may also change with food). On the contrary, if you see the dog's excrement in hard and granular shape, it means that there is less food in normal times; if the dog's excrement is relatively sparse, it means that there is more food in normal times. Isn’t it easy to adjust the dog’s diet reasonably based on this standard?

3. Observation point. After each meal, carefully observe the dog's performance. If the dog is still anxious and unhappy after the meal, and is circling around you, it means that the food you have placed may not be enough; if the dog feels satisfied after eating, he will wipe his face, shake his head to rest or play, which means he is full. In addition, if the dog hides food, it means that there is too much food and the owner should pay attention at this time. In fact, under normal circumstances, there are suggestions for feeding on dog food packaging bags, which is also a good choice for reference.
