I don't really know. I do know that dogs should not lose weight too fast, or it is unhealthy. The vet should be able to tell you how fast he should be losing, though. I also should have said that I give my 9 lb. puppy more than I give my older girls, and he is a good weight for his build. He is very active and full of energy (and himself) though! According to the Innova bag, a 25 lb. moderately active dog should get 1.32 cups a day. I would cut that in half and feed that amount, which is .66 cups. I would not feed over 3/4 cups probably. Of course, judging by how he looks, acts and feels is a better way of telling. The bags seem to always overestimate the amount of food.
