Thank you for the post... the information has really be a help to me!
I am changing from free feeding to homecooking and I am struggling with amounts.
I think when my dogs walk away from food after a bite or two I am over feeding.. now looking at your list I see that I am. Gee... I also give too much as a treet.
I purchased Balance-it and bought one of the "recipes". I used my largest dog (25 lb shih tuz) and to maintain his weight he should eat about 550 calories a day... less than 1 hamburger
