He gets one cup (106 grams) twice a day. It&#8217;s 19.6% protein, 14.9% fat, 2.4% crude fiber, and 58.0% carbohydrates. Colin also gets lots of treats and human food throughout the day. I made a rough estimate of his total food intake to use in planning how much LTS food we need for Colin. In a long-term emergency he&#8217;ll be eating what we eat. (Unlike cats, which are obligate carnivores, dogs are, like humans, omnivores.) Long story short, it turns out that Colin, at 65 pounds, needs about 0.5 person worth of nutrition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">* * * * *<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>08:37 &#8211; It was 57.1F\u00a0(14C) when I took Colin out at\u00a00645 this morning, gray\u00a0and breezy.
