We also switched our dogs to Canidae after all of this recall madness started to dry food for overweight or older dogs.
Yes, it seems the amount is so miniscule. Out 80 pounder Lab-mix is on 2 1/2 cups a day and the mini Jack Russell is at 1/2 cup per day.
They are absolutely ravenous!
I give them a couple of raw carrots and find they are really soothed by very diluted, low sodium chicken broth that I heat slightly in the microwave. They lap it up!
I guess, for us, this is a good thing. My babies are getting in shape for better health and we are much more aware of what we are ALL eating. :)
