The amount on the bag is definitely only a suggestion and should be adjusted according to the individual dog’s body condition. I can’t imagine where your vet’s head must have been to tell you you aren’t feeding an overweight dog enough. Just like people, some dogs have a very slow metabolism, some have very fast, and some are everywhere in between. A chart can’t address all those differences. It’s all trial and error. Good luck on finding the perfect amount to feed your pup.
