Question
I just got a Pittbull mixed with lab and I'm unsure of exactly how much food she should be eating daily see I rescued her off the side of the highway and decided to keep her but I want to make sure she doesn't over eat or under eat? I just want to make sure she gets about what she needs, Thanks

Hi Erica - That was Great of you to rescue this gal!!!!
Ok, as for feeding - look at the back of the bag ( food bag) it will give you a guide to follow - YOU can give a little more or a little less than what the guild tells you.
If she is an adult around 50 pounds the average feeding amount would be 3 cups of food (8 oz cups of dry food) -  Again, it depends on what food you are feeding and how condensed the food it...
So, look a the back of the bag for the guide.

BEST wishes!!
