I feed canned and dry. The only reason I started was because Jackson would never eat dry kibble by itself. He would let it sit for days. I like the canned for the added moisture and meat content (I often buy the 95% meat cans) but other than that, of course it's not necessary. I mainly do it for variety and taste... he really enjoys it. It's something I just don't mind doing. But it's definitely not cheap... cans add more cost. I typically leave a can in the fridge for 5 days and then trash it, but a trick I've learned is to freeze it and it will last longer in the freezer than the fridge.

I'm on a bag of Go! Endurance right now for kibble and canned foods range from Natures Variety, Wellness, Canidae, By Nature, etc. Oh and Go! and Now! cans. I rotate the canned foods every week. I usually try to stock up on cans when I see them for sale. Oh and if I make chicken or some other kind of meat, I will mix that in his food instead of the canned.

As for portions, I just kind of have always judged it by my own eye. He gets 1/2 cup of kibble per day (Orijen and Go! Endurance are both higher calorie) and then probably about a tablespoon of wet food per day. If he's more active in a day than usual, I will up the food. But basically what I do is leave kibble out available to him at all times and then he gets dry/wet for breakfast and dinner but the kibble is always there to snack on, tho he rarely touches it.
