How much to feed a dog

I wonder if anyone else finds it confusing regarding how much food to give.

My 8 year old terrier was very active but is slowing down a bit now. I would say she has medium activity level. She weighs 15 kilo and has canned food with some kibble just for walks.

How many grams of wet food per day would you think she needs?

No I think at 14.5 she was at her good weight. I think the extra half kilo has gone on during the hot weather as she runs a lot less. I am going to cut down what she has for now and see how much she weighs in a couple of weeks. She does not have any treats just her canned food and kibble on walks.

I have done the test and she does not seem to have any excess fat, she just weighs a bit heavier. The Lily’s recommendation of 769 seems excessive. I am going to for 525 and see how she gets on.
