How Much To Feed Your Dog:
Individual dogs vary greatly in the amount of food necessary for optimal weight and health. Active breeds such as Brittany spaniels have a much higher metabolic rate than more placid breeds. Many adult dogs I see are overweight. Overweight dogs become flattened with fat over their loin or lumbar region but almost never on their legs. Growing dogs and puppies require considerably more food per pound body weight to thrive than adults or senior pets do. Most dry dog chows give approximate feeding amounts on their labels. The following chart is an estimate of how much to feed an adult dog each day when using a name brand dry dog chow that contains 21% protein, 5% oil, 2.5% fiber and 8% ash:
Breed Type Approximate Weight of Dog Amount of Food To Feed
Toys: Toy Poodle, Miniature Dachshund, Pekinese, Yorkshire Terrier, etc. Up to 11 pounds 3.0-5.0 ounces
Small: Beagle, Jack Russell, Cavalier King Charles, etc 11-22 pounds 3.9-6.0 ounces
Medium: Basset Hound, Bull Terrier, Springer & Brittany Spaniel, etc. 22-55 pounds 10.0-12.0 ounces
Large: Labrador/Goldern Retriever, German Shepherd, Boxer, etc. 55-77 pounds 16.0-18.2 ounces
Giant: Great Dane, Pyrenees, St. Bernard, etc. 77 pounds and Over 24.3-30.4 ounces
I think with this you can do it..............good luck¡¡¡

Twice a day, you did say dog not puppy. Look on the bag of dog food for the amount according to the weight of the dog.

How old is the dog? If it's a puppy I would just leave food out for it all the time. I have 4 dogs and I just make sure their food bowls are always full.

If it's not a puppy one time a day. If it's a puppy try 3 times like a human, breakfast, lunch and dinner. Good luck and try to go to websites by searching in yahoo for tips on taking care of dogs. Good luck! =D

SOUNDS TO ME LIKE YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE A DOG!!!!
WHAT KIND OF REDICULOUS QUESTION IS THAT??? HOW OLD ARE YOU???
DID YOU NOT BOTHER TO RESEARCH THE BREED OR ASK SOMEONE!!!!
IT IS PET OWNERS LIKE YOU WHO ARE THE REASON THERE ARE SOOOOOO MANY ANIMALS IN SHELTERS OR ABUSED & NEGLECTED.
AT LEAST BE SURE YOU TAKE HER TO A VET FOR SPAYING & VACCINATIONS. THEN YOU CAN ASK THEM THIS QUESTION. YOU GET ON HERE & ASK A QUESTION LIKE THAT WITHOUT ANY DETAILS!!!! WHAT KIND OF DOG???? WHAT SIZE IS THE DOG????? WHAT AGE IS THE DOG???????
I HAVE FOUND IT BEST TO FEED A DOG HALF OF IT'S DAILY RATION IN THE MORNING & HALF IN THE EVENING, HALF!!!!! NOT FULL RATIONS, HALF!!! THIS WILL KEEP THE DOG FROM SCARFING IT'S FOOD & CAUSING POSSIBLE BLOAT, WHICH IS DEADLY & PAINFUL!!!!
IF THE DOG IS A PUPPY THAT WILL GROW INTO A LARGE BREED, DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT FEED HIGH PROTEIN DOG FOOD. THIS CAN CAUSE THE PUPPY TO GROW TOO RAPIDLY CAUSING BONE & JOINT PROBLEMS.
IT IS JUST BEST TO CONSULT YOUR VETERINARIAN....

Offer dry food and water all day, but offer canned food once a day and possibly some dinner scraps. You didn't say how old your dog was, but get a dog food that is age appropriate for it's nutritional needs.
