A dog Yoda’s size would need roughly 400 calories a day for maintenance. If Yoda is over weight, she would need less, about 300-350 calories. The caloric amount should be listed on her food. Generally speaking though, it sounds like she is getting an adequate amount of food. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck.
