Good advice, everybody, thanks. Someone else gave me a home-cooked recipe from Dr. Pitcairn. I may experiment with that too. It was interesting to note that the recipe calls for a 10-pound dog to eat 1 1/2 to 2 cups of the homecooked. It sounded extreme, but the person who gave it to me explained that it's all about the calories, not the bulk. This recipe says a 10-pound dog should eat about 410 calories a day.
Now that I check, though, the canidae bag says there are 364 calories to a cup. Eek. You wonder what to believe.
