*The recommended daily amount of cooked food for a dog is about 2-3 percent of its body weight, that is, if the dog weighs 25 kilos, bring him 625 grams (a cup of the fresh food weighs about 210 grams). *If most of the diet is based on homemade food, consult a veterinarian, and use a nutritional supplement.
