Instructions
Allow the dog to reach the appropriate age for large chunk dog food, which is not designed for puppies. Iams suggests waiting until the dog is at least a year old.
Look at the suggested amount of food based on dog size. Each dog is different and has different nutrient requirements. Generally, dogs need 1 cup of food for every 25 pounds of weight. The 1-cup rule is a just a guideline, though, and some dogs will need more or less food, depending on their age and activity level.
Measure the dog food using a half-cup measuring cup. The amount recommended on the label per day, so divide the food according to your dog's feeding schedule. For example, a 50-pound adult dog that eats twice a day should get one cup of food at each feeding.
Adjust the food as needed for the dog. If the dog starts to lose weight, add more food to the day. If it gains weight, remove some of the food or increase its activity level.
