Luna needs only about 155 calories per day, so I would recommend feeding 1/2 cup of this food per day. If you are feeding her canned food or other treats, you'll need to feed her less of the. However with allergies, it's best to have her only eat the hypoallergenic diet, with no treats, etc, for a full two or three months. I hope the diet helps!
