just remember...the colder it gets the more calorie intake is needed...in the summer my dogs get between 1/2 a bowl to less than 2/3 bowl...in the cold days they might get a full bowl each with a tablespoon of left over cooking oil I keep around just for my dogs...increase food as the temp. decreases and as the temp. goes up cut down to maintain proper weight...another thing to remember...the shorter the coat on a dog the more calories it will burn in the cold...that has been my observation...

and like already mentioned, need to keep the dogs worm free as well...
