At different weights, dogs def. need different amounts. Also, canine nutrition is not linear - so I'd be cautious w/ homemade recipes until you check them out w/ a nutritionist.

Just to compare, my Marcel is 3lbs and eats about 2 oz. of raw (Primal brand) per day (which is more than the usual % bc he is so active) and Wylie is is 7 lbs and gets 4-4.5 oz. of raw per day (ditto on activity). It's good to start w/ a certain amount and then feed to condition.
