About the amount to feed - weigh your dog first. Then use the amount shown on the bag as a guide. Some suggest far too much. We feed Burns and they lose weight on the recommended amount so I feed sardines twice a week (half a can each), egg once a week, and give them potatoes when we are having them, plus other cooked veg. You don't say what dog food you are giving him. I find getting it just right quite difficult and I'm always making minor adjustments so they either gain or lose a bit. I also add a bit of Natures Menu Mixer (wheat free) or Burns Mixer is OK (rice based). Burns advised that I shouldn't feed more than the recommended amount of their kibble but could add eggs and porridge to their diet.
What a minefield!
