Hi Mike! The reason you have gotten many different answers is because metabolism varies from dog to dog, so people feed us different amounts depending on how much we need. It also depends on how active Pepper is and how many treats she is given throughout the day. Try starting out with 2 cups, and adjust the amont of food after a couple of weeks if you need to. Being overweight is just as unhealthy for a dog as it is for humans.




Enjoy your new pupper. Don't forget that we Aussies LOVE and need exercise!
