my daughter has a 4month old pit, named rosco. and we get into it about how much she should feed him. she said a cup a day. i don't think that is enough. he weights about 27 lbs. please tell me and what is the best dog food to give him. i also have another pit since my last one died. his name is chopper and he's 3 months old. thanks.

My roommate and I were feeding our PITS three times a day at that age. That was about 5 cups per day, 2 2 and 1. They are now 8 and 9 months old, 75 and 65lbs respectively, and now eat twice per day. (4cups). 27lbs is probably a little too light for 4 months. I would say it needs to eat a little more. Consult the bag of food that you are feeding. It should tell you also. IP: Logged |

Saige and Jekkyl are four months old. They are currently eating Purina Puppy Chow, however, I am looking for something better to switch them to. Saige is 52 pounds (very solid girl) and she gets four cups a day but has a hard time to finish it each feeding. Jekkyl is a mix breed but either way he is 26 pounds and he gets 3 cups, but doesn't ever finish all of that. He is chubby too. Angie IP: Logged |

If you can feel his ribs easily, or even see the outline of the last few, I'd say he's fine. If you can clearly see most of the ribs, distinguish a lot of the vertebrae, or see hipbones, too skinny. If you can't feel ribs by running your hands down his sides lightly, too fat. The food usually has guidelines for what to feed, start with that, and change as needed. It's also good to remember that in most cases, the better food you feed, the less you'll have to feed, because there will be less fillers that just pass through the dog undigested. My dog is still fairly active at 10 yrs old and 60 lbs, and gets a cup of dry and a can (sometimes 1/2 a can, depending on what kind of exercise I've been doing with her and whether or not she's already hogged down another cup of dry food from her freefeeding bowl) a day of Natural Balance food.
