    What this means for the bowl

    Diamond Naturals Small & Medium Breed Puppy Chicken & Rice is one of the more calorie-dense dry dog foods we track: at 453 kcal per cup it has more energy than 91% of the 140 dry dog foods in our list. You will pour less of it than you might expect.

    To show how much the food matters: a 15 lb puppy needs about 590 kcal a day. That is 1 ¼ cups of this food, but 1 ⅛ cups of Purina Pro Plan All Ages Sport Performance 30/20 Salmon & Rice and 2 ⅛ cups of Kirkland Signature Healthy Weight Chicken and Vegetable. Same dog, same day, very different scoops.

    A level 8 oz measuring cup holds about 113 g of this kibble. If you have kitchen scales, weighing is more accurate than scooping, because a heaped cup holds noticeably more than a level one.

    Puppies need about three times their resting energy until 4 months, then about twice. Weigh weekly, because the portion changes as they grow.
