Rose, In my statement below, four cups of food is four cups of total volume including water. This includes raw, cooked, commercial diet or whatever.
My kibble to water ratio regardless whether I use an extruded or baked kibble is 2:1 If the food is extruded, I allow it to swell before feeding. If baked, I'll feed it crunchy with water poured over it. My dogs really like that! I do not feed more than 4 cups prepared food (including water) at any meal and prefer to feed less if possible. If more is required to keep a dog in good condition, I'll increase the number of meals fed daily.

I never feed more than four cups of food to a Berner at one time." RT) Is this four cups soaked or presoaked. My bitches have two cups of presoaked kibble twice a day, I never feed more than two and half in any one meal. Perhaps with the baked Flint River the volume is not so important??
