Twice a day would equal 10 tablespoons. And my dog weighs eight pounds. If your dog is large enough to drink three cups of water per day, he must run in the -- what? -- 60 to 80 lb. range? So you could easily multiply what I gave my dog by 7-1/2 to 10 times. Which would be more than three cups a day. Another option would be to put down one bowl of CS and one bowl of water and let him decide which to drink. Very often, they'll choose the CS over the water. If you're trying to make the CS that you have last until you get your generator, then just keep doing what you're doing until that happy day arrives!! I just wanted to let you know that you don't have to be afraid to give your dog significant quantities of CS in order to treat a problem. Once the problem is solved, then you could go to a lower maintenance dose. What kind of generator did you order? MA
