tuff Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I am feeding my two new hounds TOTW. The female is 71 pounds and the male 73. They are both on the too skinny side (the male definitely). I think the females weight has stabilized on 4 cups/day. I am up to 5 cups/day on the male and he is definitely not gaining weight. They both get a couple of milkbones and maybe another small treat a day. There poop is OK. I wondered how much TOTW others feed their hounds to maintain weight. Thanks!

TheFullHouse Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I feed Gee 4 cups of TOTW a day and she's about 70lbs. and she maintains a good weight on that.

Guest UESBrindle Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 We feed TOTW high prarie for both of ours. William is 6.5 and about 73 lbs and we feed him a little over 3 cups a day (1.5 cups + a little per meal 2x a day) and he holds his weight. Our puppy Harry is 6 months and we give him 4 cups a day, 2 cups per meal 2x a day and is growing like a weed, always hungry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kydie Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I feed between 1 1/2 to 2 cups a day with add-ins,, I think maybe some add-ins to help your pup gain weight, add-ins with 1 cup would be 4 eggs, or 1 cup of home cooked and 1 cup of TOtW,,, he maintains at 80 lbs we also feed treats 2 times a day He came to me at 69 lbs, and raced at 79 lbs,,, so he too was on the thin side good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tokolos Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Sprinkles is about 72 lbs. and he eats anywhere from 3.5-5 cups a day, depending on his appetite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KennelMom Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 our 70 lb boys get 4 cups/day. Our 60lb hounds get 3 cups/day. The 50lb pups get 2.5 cups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreytNut Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Tiny (94 lbs.) gets 2 rounded cups a day--so call it 3 cups--and Raven (65 lbs.) gets 2 level cups a day, divided into morning and evening feedings. They're both seniors and don't do much running around, or it would be more. If one starts to look skinny I up the amount slightly, and vice versa if they start to look chubby. I throw a salmon oil capsule into the evening meal, and they get a chewie of some sort daily.

Sambuca Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 (edited) Bu is a free feeder and is allowed to eat as much as he wants/needs. He's on TOTW pacific stream and averages about 6 cups a day. He's around 85# and could probably go up to 90# and still look good. He had a lot of problems gaining weight. He came to me about 70#. To get him to gain that weight, he was on 8-9 cups per day. At that point, he ate everything in front of him and once he gained the weight, he started free feeding on his own. That said, I was just pet sitting 3 hounds who eat the same thing and they all eat 2 cups per day. 2 are smaller females and the male is probably in the 70# range. I forgot my foster is also on TOTW PS and eats almost 4 cups per day. He's 67-70# and needs to gain a couple pounds.

GreytNut Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 New guy Riley eats 4 cups a day. He's smaller than Tiny at around 70 lbs. but has so much nervous energy that he needs the extra food.

Guest Gert Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Flower (72 lbs) and Viktor (84 lbs) both eat 2 3/4 cups a day, plus a few treats throughout the day. General (73 lbs) eats 3 cups a day, plus the same treats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Miller Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Jeff is 86lbs and gets four cups of the dry food and a half can of the wet food each day. If your doggie needs to add some pounds slowly up the amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mcsheltie Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 We have three fosters (65 lb girls) on it and they eat 6 cups a day. I am sooooo jealous, our dogs would be bone bags on 3 cups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
