For myself, I have been feeding Butter Canidae All Life Stages over 6 months and now at 13 months old, it's his 5th 40lbs bag. He is steadily doing better with it,especially after I increased his daily intake since Nov 2007.
See the following thread for the reason I increased his feeding.
http://www.bigpawsonly.com/index.php/topic,19760.0.html
I should say he is his best state since we got him... He is now shoulder height of around 27", and almost perfect weight of 67lbs. The previous 2 bags of 40lbs was used up after 44 and 45 days respectively. So that's around a little less than 1 lbs daily.
What about yours?
P.S. Below are 2 pictures taken last Sunday.

Butter is growing up so fast!!! He is looking great!!! ;D
Miles is fed California Natural: Herring and Sweet Potato. I have had a hard time finding a food that has given him solid poo. With the combination of this food and prozyme sprinkled on each meal, we have finally got it!!!!
He eats 2 cups, 3 times a day, for a total of 6 cups of food per day. He is almost 90 pounds and 7 months old.

Butter looks great!
Harley is fed raw and she gets 1 lbs a day. She is fed twice a day ( so 1/2 lbs twice a day).
She weighs 87lbs. She should weigh 84-85 so we are working on getting her down to that. This winter has been really cold so hard for the regular walks. :-\

Kana the Prince is on about 3 cups a day of Canidae (varied flavors) kibble. We also mix in EVO (all protein) red meat kibble.
He, as most of our fur babies gets some bones, treats and boatloads of peanut butter (Kong is a lifesaver)!
He's almost 3 and he's just at 100#. He's a trim guy, still maturing but eventually we would like him to be a bit bigger...I think that will happen naturally with age (thicker neck/chest).

I think Kana looks a good weight, right?
-
Thanks everyone for your reply. :) Butter seems to eat quite a lot for his weight and age. I wonder where all the food goes. ;D
Yeah, Kana looks great!

Though mine are fed twice a day, here's their total per day.
Daisy: 4C of Natural Balance Duck & Potato per day
Sammy: 3 to 3.5 C of Natural Balance D&P per day
Cassie 3C of Innova Adult per day
Daisy & Cassie are both about 85-90#, solid & fit. Sam is probably around 110# (but we need to re-weigh him again soon). He's a little stout, based on lack of ribs :P), so we're trying to work his weight down a touch b/c of joint problems.

Butler is on a mix of Solid Gold & Nutrisource. Currently he gets 2 four cups servings. Duke is on Solid Gold and gets 2 3/4 cup servings. I add a little raw or canned EVO or Merrick on the kibble most nights.

Butter is Beautiful And yes Kana looks great..beauty of a dog ;D
I do the switch a roo with my 3 so they get more then 1 meat source and what each food has to offer.
Innova,Diamond Naturals Lamb and rice Lamb formula,Natural Balance and taste of the Wild for the Salmon.
Mine all look great and really shiney!

I free feed and have 9 Pyrs of various ages- youngest 11 months. I feed 80-100 pounds of Verus a week PLUS about 40 pounds of meat per week. Everybody is in GREAT shape.

My 3 get 15 cups a day of 1/2 Innova Evo and 1/2 Blue fish and potato. I mix 1 cup of cottage in their breakfast and 1cup of brown rice, 1 cup of pureed chicken in their supper. Max is 170lbs., Cody is 125lbs. and Jake is 98lbs. Max is still growing and Jake is still gaining weight from when we got him from rescue. Cody only eats maybe 1.5 cups a day. He just nibbles at breakfast and supper. Max is my doggy garbage disposal. He finishes everyone else's food. He is just gaining weight very slowly.

Tipper gets 1 1/3 cups a day of Innova adult in 2 meals--he's only 42 lbs. Jenny gets 4 cups a day of Innova large breed formula also in 2 meals--she is 99 lbs. I have just recently started to mix in some of the Innova red meat formula for variety as well as mix in some of the canned merrick food, which they both go ga-ga over. ;D I also mixed in some cottage cheese and yogurt this week for fun as well.
The thread about changing food periodically has been making me think and I've been looking at Timberwolf Organics as a possible food to rotate for a variety of protein sources. And I just ordered some wild salmon oil to put on their food for Jenny's coat, which should arrive any day now.

Hello.... Titan gets 7-9 pounds of raw food a day, he is skinny at 150 pounds and 7months old. Jazmine my great dane gets canadae and solid gold,depending on her activity level she gets between 2-6 cups a day. (for instance, if we went out swimming for hours, or long walks or so forth.) she is a small dane at 120 pounds!

Right now, Cabeza gets about 3.5 cups of Innova Large Breed per day. He gets them split into two servings. One in the morning, one in the afternoon (about 3pm) Then, he gets num-nums at dinner time. Usually left over salmon, shrimp or something like that.
