Recipe sounds inexpensive and easy but there's nothing about how many servings it yields, i.e. small, medium, or large dogs. I've got a 3 year old black lab (about 100 lb) and wonder if I should feed him an amount equal to the canned food he's getting or would he need more or less of this. He also gets dry food but doesn't like it mixed with his canned food.
