Elyse Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I think it's around 220 grams? EDIT: Whoops, I'm sorry. I thought you meant just dry food and not the wet stuff. My mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich & Kody Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I believe its around 1 cup = 115g as a rough estimate. I may be wrong. I can find out tomorrow from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sutsibe Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Not sure what you're going by to figure out how much to reduce it - can you figure it out with math/fractions? Feed "X" amount - say 1/4 less - for example, by whatever instructions you're going by? Sorry, we just use cup measures here in the US - much easier than weighing it! (I would think my less active guys who are spayed/neutered would get around 3/4 - 1 cup, twice a day, if that is any help...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi I am a bit confused myself to be honest. the taste of the wild bag says cups only, but how big is a cup??? Our boys are gaining weight, although spirit is looking better now, but kaya is loosing, so trying to see if we are feeding her enough for her age and weight. we have been giving her 100g x 2 a day with a sardine mashed in and she weighs 18kg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slaves to kaya Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Just checked the TOTW website and they say that a cup is 8oz which is 226g, I think this is right???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks gigi, your a star +1 (that would make more sense as i thought it would be between 110-130g) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Sorry peeps but you are getting confused. A CUP (american measure) is a measure of Volume NOT weight. I have a set of measuring cups which have US and UK measurements. So 1 Cup = 250ml (the same Volume of Kibble will weigh much less than the same volume of chicken or tinned meat.) I have just weighed 1 cup of Barking Heads Kibble (making a very loose assumption that most kibble will weigh the same) and 1 cup of kibble = 125 grams Hope this helps.
