More or less, depending on your dog's appetite, activity level, etc. Most dogs know how much they are supposed to eat and will not overeat, but there are always exceptions.
I hope some of the members that do feed Canidae can share their experiences with that food and how much they feed their puppies/dogs.
I'm not sure where the 1/5 of a cup thing is coming in?? |
The excerpt from their website that someone else had posted said their "standard recommended feeding guidelines for an adult dog is 1 cup for every 25lbs of body weight." Which would mean that for a Yorkie to eat half a cup a day, it would have to weigh around 12-13 lbs? I was just asking hypothetically based on my dog weighing 5 lbs full grown.
