Full diet — daily feeding by life stage & activity
| Life stage / activity | g / day | g / meal (2×) | cups / day (fresh) | cups / day (kibble) | cups / day (raw) |

Note: These calculations are based on Resting Energy Requirement (RER = 70 × body weight0.75) adjusted by standard activity/life stage multipliers. Cup volumes used: fresh = 230 g/cup · kibble = 110 g/cup · raw = 260 g/cup. Individual dogs vary — use these figures as a starting point and adjust based on body condition score over time. Always consult your veterinarian or a board-certified veterinary nutritionist before making significant dietary changes.
