It's not a straight percentage from the guides I've seen. At the smaller end of the scale dogs need a greater proportion of their body weight. I guess because they lose more heat per kg of body weight. Further up the scale a 40kg dog might only need 50% more food than a 20Kg dog. It isn't a straight line but all you can do is check your dog and if it is getting podgy cut back on the food.That sounds reasonable. Working on that calculation, I'd give Pepper approximately 0.15 kgs but the site said 0.23 which is 50% greater.
