The Acana Grasslands and the Orijen Red - although different ingredients - looks the same. My little guy is only 2.7 lbs - so if you're giving a 15lb dog 1/2 cup - should 1/4 per day be enough? It kind of looks too little to me. I don't free feed all day - but I do free feed to the point that I put their food out 2x a day -let them eat as much as they want and when they stop eating I take it away. Is that wrong? Should I just measure it out and that's it?
Thanks for the feedback.
