The maths, with your numbers
No guesswork and no brand chart. This is the same calculation a vet does on paper, so you can check it.
A healthy adult Cane Corso weighs males 99–110 lb, females 88–99 lb (FCI breed standard No. 343 (2023)). Below are daily amounts for that range, for a typical dry dog food (382 kcal per cup, the middle of the dog foods in our list). For your own food, use the calculator above: it is already set to a Cane Corso weight.

Daily totals with no treats. Worked out from resting energy (70 × kg0.75) and the AAHA 2021 life-stage factors. Weight source note: AKC standard: 'Weight - Proportionate to height'. Figures from the FCI (Italian origin) standard: males 45-50 kg, females 40-45 kg, converted to lb.
Good to know
The AKC sums up the Cane Corso in three words: intelligent, majestic, affectionate. How active yours really is matters more for the bowl than the breed name, so pick the column that fits your own dog.
Cane Corso puppies are large-breed puppies. VCA Animal Hospitals advises steady, measured feeding of a large-breed puppy food rather than free feeding, and notes that big breeds can take 18 to 24 months to reach adulthood. Use the puppy calculator until then.
