About Pet Food Grams to Cups
Dividing the fed grams by the food's grams-per-cup gives the volume in cups, converted to tablespoons by multiplying by sixteen. Food density varies by kibble shape, so using the bag's own grams-per-cup makes a measured portion far more consistent than an eyeballed scoop.
