The ingredients are fish, sweet potato, occasionally oatmeal, and assorted vegetables (usually carrots or green beans).

Aww, thanks for such a sweet offer.
I think we have one, but the bag are so expensive (we go through bags like mad for her food). I wonder if they're reusable?

I think feeding four times a day may be what it comes down to, but it just isn't always possible. Sometimes even three times is difficult with schedules...

A timed feeded would work if she ate kibble, but her food has to stay refrigerated. By baking, the volume of food would (or should) be reduced, so she would be getting the same amount of calories, but less to eat.
