No, you saw it, I remember that I posted something about it....let me look through my e-mails.....
Here it is, no book citation, but another GSD owner, for many years, has found this to work the best.....
"I think a good rule of thumb is between 10-15 calories per pound of weight if feeding commercial diets...obviously 10 for the couch potatoes or elderly, 12 for moderately active and 15 for growing, active and sport/training dogs. I don't pay any attention to the guidelines offed on the bags/cans because I find them ridiculous, promoting a level of overweight that's just awful."
I think Gracie gets about 1100 per day and that is keeping her trim at 67-68 pounds, moderately to very active. It all depends on the dog, though.
Here you go....found the link to the previous thread:
