What Are Dog Feeding Charts? Dog feeding charts are required on dog food packaging. The layout of the chart, however, can vary from brand to brand. If you’re switching brands, pay close attention to ensure you’re feeding your dog the correct amount based on his age and weight. According to Dr. Harris, “Dog feeding charts usually make recommendations for daily intake. So, if you’re feeding your dog more than once a day, you’ll need to divide the amount recommended in the chart between those meals.”
Here’s a sample dog feeding chart similar to the one you will find on any dry dog food packaging:
Adult Dog Size (lbs) Dry Food Feeding Amount (cups) 3 to 12 1/3 to 1 13 to 20 1 to 1/3 21 to 35 1-1/3 to 2 26 to 50 2 to 2-2/3 51 to 75 2-2/3 to 3-1/3 76 to 100 3-1/3 to 4-1/4 Average weight of beagles is 20 to 25 pds.
