Question
Iam the second owner of a four year old dane. I had little info on her.  What is the amount of food I should feed her a day?  I have been using an actually 1 cup measuring utensil from my kitchen so I'm really accurate.

Answer
We go by weight and a kilo of meat and a kilo of complete food/biscuit meal twice a day is an average.

You need to watch to see if she puts weight on (cut her back) or see if her ribs and hip bones show (increase the amount).

Raw, minced tripe or lamb and beef mixed is OK.
