Notes
How to store
You can store the leftover food in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days or freeze them and it’ll keep for up to 3 months. Keep in mind that this recipe includes no preservatives, so it won't last nearly as long as commercial dog food. Feeding Guidelines
It's difficult to prescribe the exact portion for your dog. The actual amount of food your dog requires depends on his/her activity, age, environment and breed. We monitor Oliver's appetite - it's a great indication to tell us how much to feed him. It varies depending on his activity level that day. Just to give you a rough idea, he is 32 lbs, gets 2-3 hours of exercise and on average consumes about 4 cups of food a day plus various energy-boosting treats on our walks. If we see him losing weight we simply feed him more.
