Question
I have two goldens, Charlie is 6 and Sophie is 10. How much food should I be giving them per day to maintain a healthy weight. They are more active in the summer than in the winter months.

Answer
What you need to do is to evaluate their body condition and increase or decrease what you are feeding them.  Learn how to check them at http://www.longliveyourdog.com/twoplus/RateYourDog.aspx  With that simple system, it is very easy to check them and make any changes.  

If Sophie isn't on a senior chow, you might at least give her a glucosamine supplement. Talk to your vet.
